    Hello there: I would appreciate anyones suggestion as to what this beautiful perrennial could be. I did not plant it myself it just showed up in one of my gardens last year. It grows quite tall approx. 3-4 feet very erect stem with several very small flowerlettes which group together and make a larger almost flat flower top (same idea as Queen Anne's lace, not so flat topped though). The flower has the most beautiful aroma. There is almost no foilage on the stem, most of the foilage is located at the base of the plant. The leaves are very pronounced. I have spent many, many hours trying to research this plant to no avail. I thought maybe Angelica however it is not quite the same. The leaves differ It was in full bloom 2nd week June. I am located in zone 5 if that is of any help. I am a gardener who is not quite happy until I can identify or name all my babies. Please help. Thanks in advance. I am attatching a picture
