Can anyone help me to identify this, please?

Hi All,

Unfortunately I only have one photo of this plant that was growing on my allotment as I have given the allotment up now. It looks incredibly familiar but I just can't think what it is! I took the photo just as the flowers were opening. Couldn't be Tanacetum parthenium (Feverfew) at the early flowering stage, could it?

Thanks,

Nick

 

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) perhaps.

 

Thanks @shiney and @mazambo.

Yes, the foliage looks very similar to Feverfew which is what makes me think that's what it is. But like you I have only ever seen it with a yellow centre! You're right about the multi-petalled types, there is still a little touch of yellow there with the ones I've seen, I just wondered if there might be a cultivar that is almost pure white, especially at the early stage of the flower forming! Also, brown stalks on Feverfew? I though they were green! Totally confused by this one!

@Silver surfer Can I have your thoughts on this plant, please? It's been niggling me for months now!

This on ebay looks similar.

 

What is interesting is mystery flower has notched petals...see petal bottom left.

edit see this...found similar notch...

Sorry not to be more helpful.

If it's feverfew it should have that distinctive smell.
