Been driving myself insane trying to figure out whether this plant I've been seeing at my favorite birdwatching spot is common cowparsnip (native) or giant hogweed (invasive, causes horrific skin burns, needs to be immediately reported to the parks department). If any of you know how to reliably tell the difference between those then PLEASE DM me. No one on iNaturalist is helping.
#i have literally gotten halfway through filling out the invasive species report form and backed out TWICE#wikipedia says purple splotches on the stem are distinctive of giant hogweed but other sites are more ehh about that#and i can find several observations labeled as cowparsnip on iNaturalist that have purple splotches on the stem...#I DONT KNOW. I DONT KNOW.
