    Hi folks!

    I purchased this plant from a herbaslit who said that this was yarrow. However, the smell is strong and the yellow flowers look an awful lot like tansy. However, the tansy that I have has more delicate leaves. This tansy seems to have thick feathery leaves.

    Does anyone definitely know what plant this picture is? If it is tansy, can you give the latin name, please?

    Thanks to all of you!
