Chamomile (common)

Common chamomile is an annual plant from the asteraceae family.
It is a real pioneer plant, often found near residential areas, heavily used land or grown along roads and fields. It is not a demanding plant, because it can grow perfectly in damp ground and in dry soil. The texture of the soil or its degree of acidity is also not important, contrary to the sunlight, because it does not grow in the shade. The seeds sprout in September and the plant spends the winter with a bouquet of leaves. In the spring, the stems grow vertically to an approximate height of 60 cm, and release several offshoots. The plant can bloom twice a year. The flowers are pedunculate and have white ligulate flowers and light yellow tubular flowers. There are numerous plants that resemble common chamomile. Common chamomile is distinguished by its characteristic flavour of green apples, which is released when you rub the flowers, while the leaves are practically odourless. Moreover, the capitula of common chamomile are hollow. If the leaves of the plant also smell of green apples when rubbed, you are certainly in the presence of Roman chamomile.
