Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Scentless Chamomile

A pretty little flower that tends to look like "just another daisy". Found on a walk at Clearwater Park on 4th September. "Native to Europe, it was introduced as an ornamental and/or a contaminant in crop seed. This is not the chamomile used for tea as it is scent-less.... Scentless Chamomile and Oxeye daisy are often mistaken for each other as the flowers are nearly identical, but the leaves are very different. Both plants are weeds - there are no native white-flowered daisies in Alberta." www.invasiveplants.ab.ca/Downloads/FS-ScentlessChamomile.pdf

This plant is an introduced species from Europe. Grows along roadsides, in waste areas and cultivated fields. This Chamomile has narrow, finely dissected leaves, making it easy to tell from Oxe-eye daisies. It is not the species of Chamomile that we make tea from so, Jan, I think we'll open a couple of Herbal teabgs instead : ). Sorry you beat me to it, before I had typed my description!
