    This has appeared in the new garden (well weed patch until I can work up the effort to do something about it...) it's most obvious feature is that it has a very strong pungent citrus/cat pee like smell when the leaves are crushed and it self seeds everywhere :redface:

      I think I might have found the name myself, it's not Feverfew is it?

        Oh good might give it ago when I next get a migraine ;)

        I didn't include this photo as I thought it might confuse it's identification but this flower is deformed and instead of petals it's just a flower of leaves, I might try and self pollinate it and see if it sets seed. 2015-05-04 17.37.02.jpg
