does it have a scent?
could be fennel?

Dinkydoos · 18/04/2021 17:08

Thanks @Thighdentitycrisis
I thought perhaps Yarrow- but read that smells if you rub it which this doesn’t!

If it doesn't smell of anything it could be scentless mayweed? Has a daisy-type flower.

Yarrow?

An app I use agrees (Called Picture this ) and thinks it’s pineapple weed too

Dinkydoos · 18/04/2021 18:11

Thanks for all your help!
Pineapple weed is def the answer - best dig them out.
Is Plant Identity Free to use btw? I had an app once but now it seems to require money from me !

@Dinkydoos it's free for me so far

Pineapple weed is scented, though, of pineapple, hence the name!

Well, it smells of pineapple if you have the imagination to think it does Grin Its actually a nice scent.

I’ve never noticed yarrow smelling, but that’s the wrong leaf shape for yarrow. Scentless mayweed is a possibility.

Pineapple weed is a close relative, and smells of synthetic pineapple flavouring.

Remember plant apps are only an automated version of you flicking through pics on the internet looking for a match. They don’t have the botanical knowledge to alert you when they’ve got it wrong
