Well, here is the Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota) of the Parsley family, as promised.
This is an ancestor of the garden carrot, the taproot can be cooked and eaten. Eastern Indian tribes brewed a tea from the plant and used it as a bath to reduce swelling.
This is a native of Europe that has been naturalized in the U.S. It is considered invasive in some parts of this country, but as far as I can tell not in this area.
