WIldflower ID Request

I know this isn't quite what this forum is meant for, but I can't seem to find a better alternative.
This plant was found in a meadow. The flower is a compound inflorescence. Each floret has five petals, all cleft. They are pinkish white. Leaves highly dissected and compound. Sorry for the poor picture and poor notes. I was rushing.

Looks like conium maculatum. It's not that but it should be in the same family.

Yeah, I think that it is conium maculatum (poison hemlock)...not 100%, but it really looks like it to me too.

Y'all are right - it's poison hemlock.
It has an edible look-alike Queen Anne's Lace/Wild Carrot. Daucus carota

I don't know, guys. It looks a lot like Conium maculatum, but I think the flowers might be different. My specimen has pink flowers.

Yeah looking back now, the leaves don't exactly match up with hemlock either.
It's in that Apiaceae/parsely family. Maybe some kind of wild parsley? They can have white to pink flowers.
I don't know, i'd like to know too. I couldn't find a sure enough match to post..

The pink flowers are what is throwing me off too. A lot of things in that family look fairly similar.
Its hard to tell exactly from your picture too. Take a close up with the scratch and sniff app, and I could tell you. Hemlock smells pretty gross.

I have the goddamnedest time getting my camera to focus on plant parts, especially flowers. We might be lost on this one for now because I won't be returning to that spot today. I'll post some pics from today's walk though.

I assume you've tried looking up your states wild flowers?
That'd be the best way to start, unless it's just kind of not that big of a deal.

Eh, there's so many Apiaceae in my state that it would take a long time to narrow down, and it might even be impossible because the pics are poor and I didn't take notes. I'll try again with other plants today.
