Sorry if I'm out of line, but there is certainly a pink variant of
Hog weed - which in flower looks very similar to Cow Parsley.
It can be quite a purple colour in bud and pales on flowering.

Sometimes there's a pink tinge to the flowers of wild hogweed too.

There's a dark red, almost chocolate-black leaved variety of cow parsley
called 'ravenswing', but the flowers are white. Very striking plant.
