Comments (6)Parsnips can also cause skin irritation and burns if you combine the sap on your skin with sun exposure - personal experience. Either way, cow parsnip or hogweed, be careful handling the green leafy parts.

Comments (10)Scot, good point. David, thanks. Sounds good.

The heads will dry intact and retain the purple colour - not as vibrant I guess, but definitely purple. I've found that Amaranthus will rehydrate - in humid conditions or if your home is quite humid then they will droop some. That heavy stem you see now becomes quite light (in weight, that is) after it's dried so it should hold itself up quite well. The stem, when dried, is very strong....See More- 11 years ago
