Queen Anne's lace is in the Umbelliferae family (now called Apiales/Apium) and is the group with celery, carrots, fennel, parsley, cilantro, dill, and more. Easy to not confuse with other aster family plants. And the one I would worry most about an invasive plant making it's way through New England - the Giant Hogweed. It's an ornamental that came to the US via the UK and some fool from there brought it from Asia as an ornamental, and it is your worst nightmare as far as a plant to tangle with in the garden or in the wild.
