Check the bishops flower. I know it as queen anne's lace. That's what it looks like to me!

I was thinking of bishops flower but when I google searched images the leaves look different. Hopefully it blooms soon so I can identify it by the flower.

The flower and flowering stem actually look a bit like fasciated parsley to me. The lower leaves on the plant are not parsley like. Can you investigate the base of the plant and check that there are not two separate plants growing very close together?

Could you let us have the list of what was supposed to be in the mix?

The stalk to me reminds me of celery. Both the leaves are from the one plant. The plant is 4' tall with 5 or more flowers from bottom to top. It has not bloomed yet but it seems like maybe next week or the week after. While looking at images of fasciated parsley, I did find a image of Wild Parsnip. The images look very similar. What do you guys think?
