Tiny little buds forming on this dog fennel. Some plants are in full bloom while others are coming along. For clarification again, this plant is in aster family - NOT the carrot family like the herb, fennel. It's fronds smell pungent if you crush them as it is a natural insecticide. However, it's lovely little blooms have a light powdery scent - a lot like baby powder. More info on this plant here - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=545
@maggiemae This plant is in the aster family and NOT the carrot family like the herb fennel. This plant's green feathery fronds smell like insecticide if you crush them because it's a natural insecticide. I don't believe anyone would want to cook with it.
