I'm a Long Island, NY gardener and my garden therapy keeps me sane, so I try to spend as much time as I can outside or at the beach.

Help me identify this plant. It's growing along my fence and stands about 2.5 feet tall.

I believe it IS Queen Anne Lace! It self seeds readily, seedlings remind me of carrots. It grows in fields and on hillsides, better in full sun than my partial shade.

@KariSamuel thank you. I'll have to look to see what you're referring to; sounds interesting.

@elainab - I'm at a client's garden... just picked a fresh bouquet for their table, and what I picked is DEFINITELY Snow on the Mountain! Individual flower heads, where Queen Anne Lace is usually 1 large single cluster with the little black spot in the middle!
