    Difficult to identify at this angle, but could be something like hogweed, or cow parsley. Would need to see the leaves and the height really.

    I would agree with Blackthorn, it does look like the cow parsley family from that angle. But each flower would need to be on a stalk coming from the same place - as in Umbellifer- see here http://www.dundeetwig.com/umbellifer.jpg

    It looks refined so Ammi majus springs to mind. http://www.everwilde.com/store/media/2009-large-wildflower-photos/Ammi-majus.gif

    So many garden plants are not far removed from wild flowers. If you like it it is a garden plant. If you don't its a wild flower, ie weed.
