I think it can be quite hard to describe something like that, because not only is it not a plant everyone will normally take much notice of, everyone 'sees' things slightly differently. That's a fair comment. Something else just struck me about the smell: before tackling that weed, I had just pulled up a whole pile of tall dill seedlings. Right now, I could not swear whether the smell was the dill lingering on me (which it does), or the actual smell of the plant. Quite apart from the photo, I must test the smell again, now that the dill is all gone. I said it had the same leaf structure as parsley, i.e. a ferny type leaf. However, I also said it was far more delicate, easily crushed/ bruised, very pale green, with some leaves white and even purple close to the ground. I am not sure how tall it would get given the chance - it didn't get the chance. I have to say I had never come across it anywhere until this year in my veg patch. There's only one thing for it: I must try and get a photo of it. If the weather permits next week end, and assuming that I didn't pluck every last bit of it, I'll take a pic and post a link to it. I seem to recall some time back someone posted a website through which one could access a database of photos categorised by shapes/colours etc. to identify plants. Has anyone the url for this? Thanks to all for the collective headscratching :-) It's fun to try. ;-) I guess as much from finding myself looking up those threads almost systematically - even if I can rarely answer the question, and when I'm able to have generally been pipped to it by the more expert posters. But a photo would certainly do it. There's a site called Flickr:http://www.flickr.com/ I'll probably tinypic it - it works for me :-) Thanks again, Cat(h) |
