Wild Chamomile

Wild Chamomile

Wild Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is as cheery as a summer's day. Just looking at its white petals basking in the sun makes me want to whistle a tune and take up painting. You can not admire this flower without smiling, quitting your job, and learning to tie-die t-shirts. It is a goddess-loving, age-of-Aquarius crooning, flower of flowers.

Called a weed by some, this plants seems to thrive in disturbed habitats like dry roadsides or empty lots. Flower power indeed!
