Mm๐Pineapple w**d, wild chamomile.
Giving credit where credit is due: G-d's pharmacopoeia โ๏ธ๐๐ผ
This humble "w**d" that you may have noticed growing in the cracks of your driveway or sidewalk is called Pineapple W**d, and not only is it native to the PNW, but it is also a wild chamomile! When crushed, it has a strong chamomile/pineapple scent; the greens can be washed and eaten, and both the flowers and the whole plant can be steeped to make a tea described as "excellent" by one field guide. (Please don't remove plant life from the refuge!)
