      Thanks! I got very excited because I thought it might be Chamomile and there is a ton around here now. They do smell very nice… Apparently they were used to brew a tea to kill off internal parasites in the past, but I am not sure it’s a good idea to prepare that as a tea.

      The Wiki page has a lot of very interesting information about its ethnomedical and culinary uses.

      A very cool detail is the mention of a blue oil produced from the related Tanacetum annuum. That oil contains a blue molecule called chamazulene.
