I saw a magnificent wild-growing plant, from April(flowering) to August (dried up, magnificent to keep, with seeds on) and thought it was caraway, but later I found out it is called "ferulago nodosa". I even sent to others 1- 2 sachets of seeds as "caraway" (I think it was Baa I sent them to) and I still don't know what is caraway.. I had a look through Google but found no pics of the plant, the umbels or the seeds with their wings on...
Any help would be much appreciated

Spot on, Lil. A million thanks...

The mature plant is equally magnificent to look at ...

I have 2 - 3 lots of seeds (ferulago nodosa, not caraway) if anyone wants.
