Description
Also, giant cow parsley
Latin name: Heracleum mantegazzianum.
Dutch name: Kaukasische Berenklauw, also Reuzenberenklauw.
This is the Hogweed in the bud, I loved its shape.
The plants are very decorative, they grow very high.
Their skeleton is beautiful in winter, covered with snow.
BUT: this weed is very dangerous. Not grapple with bare hands.
You get burns, especially in warm weather, this effect is worse.
In the Netherlands it is a plague. He really is everywhere.
This is especially dangerous for children, as somewhere to play.
Dear art friends, thank you for your attention and for your nice words on my previous upload.
Have a nice day.
Greetings, Mies.

Excellent capture. Your warnings are a wonderful example of how something that looks so attractive and inviting can be deceptive and hazardous. Reminds me of some people. Once more Mies your ability to capture beauty in the natural world around all of us is a wonder to behold.
