This flower looks very much like the Queen Anne's Lace which is beginning to come into bloom now, but it definitely is not. Queen Anne's Lace grows in dry locations, whereas this plant, called Water Hemlock, grows in wet places. One of my resources lists it as the most toxic plant in North America. The roots and stems are the most problematic. It is toxic when ingested, but suggestions are not to even handle the plant. I noticed two places where it is growing at the marsh, and there may be others.
