Dog fennel... by marlboromaam

Dog fennel...

Feathery fronds swaying in the breeze. I'm 5'6" and most the stems are taller than I am - six to eight feet tall and taller!

@lesip If you crush some leaves in your hand - it's pungent because it's a natural insecticide. In the fall when it blooms - the blossoms have a nice light powdery smell that carries on the breeze. It's nothing like the herb that people grow in their gardens.

Looking at your photo without reading your comments I was thinking that the fennel looked tall. Seriously 6-8 feet is super tall!

@dutchothotmailcom There are some taller than that! The brown left over stems in the background are closer to 10 feet. =)
