What Daisy is this?

This suddenly started growing in my herb bed and decided to keep it growing there as I quite like it and want to grow it elsewhere in the garden. I've collected the seed for it but don't know what to put on the label.



It's not chamomile as it grows a lot bigger than them and doesn't smell like chamomile either. I just thought I would add that.

 

Scentless Chamomile. Tripeurospermum maritima at a guess.

 

don't you just love when 'surprise' blow in's turn out to be something really nice! i've got some lovely ferns that just appeared one day as if by magic

its like your garden has given you a present

 

Actually I think that these were transported another way. Where this plant is growing is where I prop my bike when I come back home. I have been riding through a lot of wild terrain along the Thames and I reckon that the seed must have hitched a lift on the bike rather than just blowing in. Sometimes I've ridden for 11 miles and it's amazing that a seed could hang on for that long.

 

Seeds are very good at getting around. Broad Leafed Dock quickly colonised America by sticking to mud on the colonists boots, all the way across the ocean

Think the Natives called it English Man's Foot because it seemed to spring up wherever they'd trod.

Within a few years they'd worked out loads of uses for it.

 

There's a trail of parsnips, chicory and salsify growing from my front garden all the way to my plot a quarter of a mile away.
