The wild growing Camomile, Anthemis_nobilis, is one of the last flowers you can find on our fields in a period of the year when it has already been quite chilly in the mornings.
A farewell to autumn!

Did you know that the lawns of Buckingham Palace use camomile instead of grass? At least, Wikipedia says so :).
Further, Chamomile is used cosmetically, primarily to make a rinse for blonde hair, and is popular in aromatherapy, whose practitioners believe it to be a calming agent to end stress and aid in sleep.
And this is the place where I found the lovely little flower!
Look for flowers all around the globe!

So sad to say goodbye to Autumn, but each season brings its own beauties.
We tried to grow a camomile lawn but were unsuccessful. I believe it's quite slow-growing and it certainly couldn't cope with our animals ;-)
Is this the same camomile that is used in tea? What a lovely place and your flowers are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I saw it was 8 degrees in your place! That will surely freeze all my dogs tails!
The view is fantastic! I hope you look forward to winter. It sounds like an exciting season 'cause we don't have that in my place!
Very lovely small flowers.
Wild camomile makes a soothing tea and an infusion in the bath is very rlaxing
Happy days my friend!
Lovely shots, its Autumnal here still. I hate the winter, we don't get much of a Summer up here, June is about the only good month. Thanks for sharing:)
