Cicely Mary Barker's Scentless Mayweed Fairy

Like a daisy   not a daisy!
(For these leaves of mine
Aren't a bit like any daisy's   
They are cut so fine!)

By the cornfield, by the 'lotments,
By the trodden ways,
Any place will do for Mayweed
With her snowy rays.

Scentless Mayweed

also known as Corn Feverfew (matricaria inodora)

Scentless Mayweed is an annual, commonly found in fields, by the wayside, and on waste patches of ground, and flowers throughout the summer. The name 'Mayweed' is misleading, as it  flowers through the summer and into autumn. It is spreading and bunching in its growth, generally about 1 foot in height. When compared to other mayweeds, it may almost be termed 'scentless,' although the term is not strictly appropriate as it has a slightly sweet and pleasant, aromatic odor.
