chamomile

A bunch of German chamomile is growing in the pathway at our community garden--thanks Wendy for spotting it! There's a rule about keeping the paths clear of "weeds" so I did my part. It smells so good--chamomile is my favorite.

In hindsight, I should have only picked the flower heads instead of cutting off half the plant so that it would recover faster, but you can't beat walking home with a bouquet of beautiful and useful flowers.
