    Hi All

    These are some of the plants in my garden I do not know what they are. Knowing what they are is, I found, essential in feeding, propagating and moving ...etc. Many thanks in advance :)

          7. Looks as though it's blowing around in the wind but I agree with Jazz that it's feverfew (Tanecetum parthenium). It appears to be the plain white flowered variety.

          Feverfew has, for thousands of years, been a traditional herbal remedy for migraines but the variety more commonly used for that is the golden leafed variety that has a white flower with a yellow middle. It can be used as a tea or by simply eating the leaves (salads etc.) but can be bitter. Not recommended to be used (without permission of your doctor) if you're pregnant or have a medical condition.

              This plant started out very tiny seedling under other large plant. I thought it was a weed, but then it looked nice, so I left it, and it bloomed with lovely white small flowers on June last year. The flowers lasted until November last year.

              This year, it was getting quite big competing with bux trees, so I moved them to the front spot with more space. It was kinda unhappy, and then withering away. I thought it was going to die, but it seems coming back again.

              They seed very easily and the golden leafed variety seeds even more. Keep an eye on it as the stems can suddenly flop outwards as it gets taller. Then it just needs a loop of twine run around the plant to keep it upright.

                  By posting pics in small numbers at a time people here will be able to give you masses of help...without the thread getting too long.
