Wild, or wood, angelica ((Angelica sylvestris)) is a lover of shaded and moist riversides and woodlands. As with many wild flowers, it has been assigned many herbal / medicinal attributes. It has been a popular food, with leaves, young shoots and stems used as an aromatic addition to salads; or cooked and used as a vegetable. The chopped leaves are said to be a good addition to cooked acid fruits, especially rhubarb. There are recipe suggestions on the Internet. However, as with all riverside umbellifer ('umbrella') flowers, you need to be sure of your identification, since the white-flowered varieties include hemlock and water-drop hemlock, both of which are poisonous. Seen feeding in this photo is a large and common (Volucella) hoverfly.
