    Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) blooming in Schenley Park, Pittsburgh
    Photographed June 12.

    Listed as Chrysanthemum parthenium in many references. The plants bear dozens of little daisy flowers, and in some specimens—like these from Schenley Park—the rays crowd themselves so much that they create a doubling effect, which has been bred into full doubles in garden varieties.
