Anyone know what this plant is? I think it might be an edible plant - possibly Scandinavian native. It has delicate white umbel flowers in late spring - just emerging at the moment.
(It isn't parsley!)

It reminds me of Queen Anne's Lace but there are so many look-alikes, I don't have the knowledge to tell them all apart.

Really pretty leaves

I wonder if it's lovage, which is edible and has white umbel flowers.
Just wondering, if you don't know what it is, how do you know it's edible and Scandinavian?
