pineappleweed

Pungent yellow-green flower

Pineappleweed is a low-growing plant with feathery leaves and small, cone-shaped flower heads that lack the white petals of its relative, chamomile.

When crushed, the flowers release a sweet scent resembling pineapple.

Common in disturbed ground, sidewalk cracks, and compacted paths: Pineappleweed grew along the gravel driveway.
