Your farmer was right about a Feverfew sandwich for headaches. Not sure it would help migraine though.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-61794511850047142692021-06-17T20:55:09.458+01:002021-06-17T20:55:09.458+01:00They are very pretty!

They grow wild in our yard and along the roadsides and are very pretty, but I noticed when I brought them in that they don't have a particularly pleasant smell! I think feverfew is a smaller plant. It is well known as a herb and is used for migraines.Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-88225191647555251342021-06-17T13:28:58.060+01:002021-06-17T13:28:58.060+01:00You perhaps need to look at the leaves. oxeye dais...You perhaps need to look at the leaves. oxeye daisy seems to have long, narrow leaves with a serated edge, sort of like rocket in a salad mix. Feverfew seems to have a composite leaf, more like flat leaved parsley. (No I'm not suggesting eating either of them.)<br />My husband has a handy app on his smart phone to identify plants - very useful at times.Beaceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705130860177002122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-77143059189322152952021-06-17T12:45:27.562+01:002021-06-17T12:45:27.562+01:00Ox eye daisies, not feverfew!
