Default Mystery plant


Not sure, but the first thing I thought of is Hogweed.

Read about it. It's very dangerous to touch Hogweed.

Yes, some similarity. But leaves and main stem are quite different from Hogweed. Also, color of flowers. My wife has touched in a number of times, even sampled the leaves, with no ill effects.
