    A. ptarmica looks more like this:

    I have changed the species for you but please feel free to return it if you do not agree. Thanks!

    1. Hi Mate,

      This is definitely sneezewort, we have it fairly commonly here and yarrow is also common here. Yarrow normally is in flower later than sneezewort in the North of England and it has a much tighter flowerhead with smaller flowers. Also has different leaves (much more feathery) - The link you have is for a garden variety "the pearl". See link below.

      Cheers, David
