Can anyone identify this Apiaceae plant?

Not a problem everyone struggles at first, once uploaded click on the library images sign on the right again. Your pictures should now be on the new tab that opens, then simply click on the pictures and the link will be uploaded into the thread.

Bittercress is on the left. Uploaded at last

Looks like Hairy Bittercress, Cardamine hirsuta + Cow Parsley, Anthriscus sylvestris. The latter normally spring flowering but occasional plants may flower now especially if they were mowed/strimmed earlier.

Was also going to suggest Anthriscus sylvestris but time of year was off putting!!

Are you sure its not wavy bittercress or watercress as it was growing right by a stream and it is bigger than the ones I see in the garden?

This Apiaceae plant looked very vibrant and lushus though and the flowers are quite delicate and not so robust as cow parsley though.

Size can be variable (as in most taxa) it is a bittercress a close up of the stems and flower heads would clinch the species

Definitely not Watercress but would need to see the flowers for sure, but it could be Wavy Bittercress.

The fruits on the Apiaceae look pretty convincing for Cow Parsley as does everything else about it.

Just got back to this one.
I can just pick out a zig-zag flower stem which tells me this is Wavy Bittercress - Cardamine flexuosa; habitat sounds perfect.
If you want to be certain, count the stamens, 6 in Wavy, 4 in Hairy.

I agree the other is a late-flowering Cow Parsley - Anthriscus sylvestris.

Thank you so much for your help guys. Its really strange that Cow Parsley would appear at this time of year. Strimming the grass must really stimulate growth then.

I have uploaded a close up of its stalk too.

Thanks again.
