| Hi, So a few years ago, I had a beautiful yarrow planted in my herb garden that gave me pinkish/white flowers and I loved it. Fast forward through depression, my job, anxiety and starting over with gardening. I unfortunately lost this plant but was delighted to find this plant that looked similiar, if not the same and it was labeled yarrow!! It was also from the same couple that sell plants at a local flemarket. This year it doubled in size, didn't spread like other yarrow usually does and here is the bloom!! I've never seen a yarrow with this flower, can someone identify if it actually is yarrow or what it truly is? Most yarrows I know, have that flat flower head and I've seen 'Ballerina' but not this one....I love it none the less and has tons of blooms ready to open up soon besides the few it has, I just wish I knew what it was for sure! lol ~Michael P.S. It also doesnt seem to have a scent from the foliage either if that helps and it just started blooming like today lol :) |

| Well it definitely isn't Yarrow. Compare with Anthemis tinctoria - a silver leaved cultivar like 'Susanna Mitchell'. |

| I second floral's comment--it definitely isn't any yarrow I've ever seen. You can also post the photo on the Name That Plant forum here on GW and generally get a definitive ID pretty quickly. |
