Randy,

Is there any chance that Cow Parsnip (Heracleum lanatum) could  
actually be Giant Cow Parsnip, also known as Giant Hogweed (H.  
mantegazzianum)?  I've read about it being a horrible invasive in  
B.C.  There's a bit about it here, along with a photo that shows it  
with a bicycle for size reference.  I've never actually seen one "in  
person" so can't say how much one might resemble the other except in  
size.
