I need some help with identifying Artemisia absinthium from its
leaves.
The web gives pictures that are inconsistently labelled.
Likewise the nurseries here in Sydney.
There are three pictures of what I am growing posted at
http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~richwrig/
The pictures are entitled:
"pot label says Artemisia pontica.jpg"
"pot label says True Wormwood.jpg"
"seed packet says Artemisia absinthium.jpg"
I think that the plant with the image titled "pot label says True
Wormwood.jpg" is in fact Artemisia absinthium. It has a very bitter,
not very aromatic, taste.
I don't think there is any argument with the identification of "pot
label says Artemisia pontica.jpg".
But what might "seed packet says Artemisia absinthium.jpg" be? It has
a very mildly aromatic taste, and is not at all bitter.
