Water Parsley (Oenanthe sarmentosa)
These flowers are just starting to appear and are still very low to the ground. As Lewis Clark says in his book, “Wild Flowers of British Columbia”, “the soft stems may be a yard long, but are chiefly prostate, sending up short weak branches... At the ends of the branches appear loose, compound umbels of greenish-white flowers.”.

''Oenanthe sarmentosa'' is a species of flowering plant in the carrot family known by the common name water parsley. It is native to western North America from Alaska to California, where it grows in wet areas, such as streambanks.
