Flower of unidentified plant - possibly of the Family Apiaceae |
I think that the plant (flower above) belongs to the Family Apiaceae (or Umbelliferae) which is commonly known as the the carrot or parsley family. The reason I sat that is because the foliage and flower structure resemble that of Dacus carota (Carrot) and other members of Apiaceae. But I'm not entirely certain yet.

Above is the plant with the dense clusters of yellow flowers which I suspect belongs to Apiaceae. Note the leaves structure.
