Huge hogweed

"There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,

 There's a bright golden haze on the meadow,

 The hogweed's as high as an elephant's eye,
 An' it looks like its climbin' clear up to the sky.


 Oh, what a beautiful mornin!".....  (with apologies to Richard Rogers)



Quick phone shot on our walk through the woods with Ivy this morning.  I think this is a hogweed of some sort but I'm not sure.  I used to think it was just big cow parsley but that's over for this year and is much more delicate.
