WHITE UMBRELLAS

The branching stems of Cow Parsley each carry an umbel (like an umbrella) of white flowers.  


 But each umbel is made up of a dozen or so smaller umbels, and each of them carries half a dozen individual flower stalks.  The flowers themselves are not symmetrical with some petals longer than others.  Altogether a wondrous, complex structure.
