Hi Lin,
Thank you for checking. You're right that the foliage isn't right for Hedge parsley. When I was looking for pics of prairie bishop, I discovered that Ladybird Johnson Wildflower org shows two pics, one looks like hedge parsley (definitely incorrect image) and the other looks much like mine but my flowers aren't so tight together... http://www.wildflower.org/gall...
my foliage is more dill-like but has a sweeter scent. It's a spring flower so I may have to wait to get more info.

What's the final verdict on this one? Is the plant in question Mock Bishop's Weed as Linda supplied the link for, or Queen Anne's Lace as Daylilydayzed suggested?

It's definitely not the Queen Ann's lace, for many reasons; although it's a good guess - the seed heads confirm that it's not my plant, as well as no red markings.
I'm pretty certain that it's the Mock bishop's weed.
What do you think, Josephine?

You're welcome! Don't know if I've actually see that kind, but I have a Wildflowers of Texas book where you can look things up by flower color. Along with the pic showing those flowers, the description of the leaves sounded right so I googled the species name. I just love my plant books!
