Racoon Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Posted June 15, 2007 Can you provide some more info such as alternate/opposite leaves, is the stem square?, and the smell when crushed? I think I know what it is, but I need some more info/better picture to know for sure. :doh: Heres couple more pics..If I had to say what it smelled like, I would have to say its in the ballpark and family with FeverFew. The stems are woody and similar to Sage. Spit it out Freeztar...Then I'll google it. Its really bugging me that I can't remember what it is! :) Quote
freeztar Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 If I had to say what it smelled like, I would have to say its in the ballpark and family with FeverFew. I'm not familiar with feverfew's scent unfortunately. :(The stems are woody and similar to Sage. Spit it out Freeztar...Then I'll google it. Its really bugging me that I can't remember what it is! I was guessing sage. :cup: What do the flowers look like? Color, petals, and emergent location would be most helpful. :) I should preface that I'm not good at ornamental/agricultural plants. :phones: The second picture is captivating. I love the intertwining of the stems and the terminal leaf clusters. It's almost bonsai. Perhaps Turtle can shed some light? Quote
InfiniteNow Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 The new pictures are much better. It reminded me a bit of pine, so I'm going for wormwood. Wormwood Quote

freeztar Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Nope, I'm not convinced. Unless of course there has been some SERIOUS manicuring performed. In the absence of a good leaf shot (close-up), I can only presume from the photos available that the leaves emerge from the terminal ends of the stalks. They seem whorled (or perhaps Lamiaceae-esque), but there is not enough detail in the photos to confirm or deny any of this. Quote
Ganoderma Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 my money is on Artemisia sp. as well. Quote
Racoon Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Posted June 16, 2007 Thanks Guys !You led me down the right path with Artemisia abrotanum.. I'm pretty sure now that it is indeed a Caraway variety.I appreciate your help :) Quote

Mercedes Benzene Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 You're welcome! Although I don't take credit since I was not the first person to suggest wormwood. Just a little slow. Quote
