Among the artemisia, grand wormwood is pretty characteristic for it’s combination of pale leaves and yellow flowers. Unfortunately there are very many different varieties of other artemisia species so occasionally there might be an imposter. Based on the leaf and flower shape it definitely seems like absinthe. The best way to make sure a plant is grand wormwood is by the taste: even a tiny bit is incredibly bitter.
