  • flower or weed?

    Hi, is this a flower in the making or a weed? It seems to have popped up all over my flower beds & I need to know if I need to take it all up. Thanks

          Its much better but I'm not sure what plant it is.
          My best guess at the moment is Feverfew.
          If you rub the leaves do they smell - maybe a bit strong, pungent?

            I'll have a rub tomorrow... Only looked in awe at the amount today after a morning on our new allotment

              Feverfew self seeds everywhere so it could be that. Small daisy-like flowers - but the smell is the giveaway

                My vote goes to feverfew too. If it's growing where you don't want it, it's a weed!

                    feverfew has a really bright yellowish green foliage and a pungent smell

                        me thinks feverfew as well. One rub of the leaves will confirm.

                          Thanks everyone. Def feverfew after looking it up & smelling it. Although it would be pretty, it's swamping a lot
                          Of of my other flowers so going to pull some of it up. X

                            Feverfew is highly regarded as a cure for migraine. It might be useful to someone. You must not eat more than a couple of leaves each day, and need to take it for quite a while before the effect begins to work. Apparently not very tasty so is often masked with other herbs as part of a herb butter. P
