Silly me, did not put 2 and 2 together. Kept seeing the flowers but not the leaves. (I had these down as mayflower?)  . by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr |

As sea mayweed and scentless mayweed look so similar, and the latter could also be found in coastal sites, it is perhaps worth pointing out that crushing the leaves of sea mayweed give you a rather nice sweet scent. Knowing this may be helpful next time you find a mayweed (it could be scented mayweed, of course, but that is rather less likely in Scotland, where I think you live).

Thank you faith, useful to know. It was the first time I had seen mayweed, but will probably see again as doing a trip out to a coastal island our side - NW Scotland. Oh! Wonder if it grows our side different environment and all that.
