    I've been finding these everywhere... I do remember planting some Feverfew seeds, but not sure if this is them popping up. They do smell very strong.

    It's a plant. I've never seen a weed before. Well, mayby one. It was a hybrid rose growing out in a field.

    Thanx for that very helpful post! To me weeds are weeds, plants are planted on purpose...

    Anyone have a little more educated answer for me as to what this plant is?

    My point about "weeds" is that is depends upon your perspective. You consider a weed to be a plant, which is not planted for a purpose. I prefer wild plants growing naturally and don't consider them to be weeds. The closest thing to a weed to me would be a gaudy horticultural variety growing in a pristine wilderness.

    Thank you. Yay! the answer is: YES, IT IS FEVERFEW... That's great, now I know it's a plant I planted... not a 'weed' that magically appeared in my garden.
