    lots of something in my yard...any advice on how to tell chamomile such as is suitable tea from the false chamomile/weed ??

    (or should I just boil up some faded blossoms and taste)

    the former owner may well have had chamomile growing, but there is also clearly some weedly thing that comes up everywhere...they look the same to me, but is it all weed ???

    these plants are in a greenhouse i'm getting ready to rehabilitate and are 4+ feet tall...in amongst the OTHER equally tall weeds

    I use to live in a place that had the wild plant and now I have a plant that I bought and they look and smell the same. I don't know the answer to your question, though it is a good question.
