    Well, before I vanish up onto the deck to have bread, cheese and wine ... at first glance I'd say an Argyranthemum, the Marguerita, or an Osteospermum,but there doesn't seem enough petals for either ... and why am I thinking it has something to do with Mrs roders?

    Leaves look like a chrysanthamum, but they have played around with the names and the breeding of these DAISIES so much recently it could be called almost anything,
    OK, Fred, lets call it Fred. :D

    Surely this is feverfew - Tanacetum/Chrysanthemum parthenium? Pity the poor folks that eat the leaves in sandwiches or make 'tea' from it to assuage migraine. Revolting taste! Mind you, I have the same nausic reaction to fresh coriander so if you like that, you might find it less offensive.

    [​IMG] That'll do for me Dave...common as muck,thats why Pete called it Fred :D
    The other reason it is easy 'cos the seeds were given away in Amateur Gardening earlier this year,so I guess I am not the only one from GC who has them.........Yes it has been proven they assist the relief from migrane,if you can bare the taste.........So not all bad then ;)
