Oh well, you learn something new every day. I didn't think we had any native
achilleas, but then my knowledge of plants is pretty much limited to a few
garden weeds and the perennials I find in Armitage.
I just remembered reading that millefolium is a common garden escapee.
But if we have to do a chromosome count to be sure, maybe millefolium is
much less common as a weed than we thought.
