I like this daisy-like flower. Chamomile is a herb plant whose leaves, seeds, or flowers are used for flavoring food or in medicine. Other uses of herbs include cosmetics, dyes, and perfumes. The name derives from the Latin herba, meaning “green crops.” Chamomile or camomile refers to two different geni of plant in the Asteraceae family: Anthemis nobilis, known as Roman chamomile; and Matricaria recutita, known as German chamomile. It is found in temperate zones of Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia.
