Help me identify this plant. So many plant eating creatures enjoying the flowers, this is one they don't seem to like.

It looks like feverfew to me. I can't remember it's botanical name I'm afraid. I think it's one of those "weeds" you really want! It self seeds all over my garden

It was growing between the cracks in paving stones and I liked it so much I pulled it up and put it in a pot. I wonder if the fact that it's a weed means it's not so attractive to pests. Thank you for the name, I'll add it.

Oh, wow, thank you #malcolmhillen for its Latin name.

Having now researched the names, both common and Latin, I see that it's a medicinal herb! You learn something every day, especially with the help of this app and the gardening lovers on it.

If you're interested @patInnes, one of my garden photos has it at the bottom next to a purple stock with a glaucous rose in the background
