Chamomile?

[Mrs.D]

I believe that this chamomile. But what type and is it edible? It's growing all over the back yard and I'll toss some in for my Russians if it's something they might like.

Could be chamomile but the picture is quite small. My tortoise won't touch chamomile, even if he's really hungry. Maybe the taste is too strong.

Wild chamomile - It is supposed to be medicinal and edible, however, my tortoises (and the horses when I used to have them) never eat it.

Chamomile has petals like a daisy. Pineapple weed does not.

 

[RosemaryDW]

Pineapple weed is another name for wild chamomile. There are little tiny white petals at the base of the flower head (the yellow part) but you have to get pretty close to see them.

It's safe in moderation; my tortoise won't eat it. (She won't eat regular chamomile either.)

Either way, I think it would be a wonderful perfume on a ladyfriend, if used lightly..!
