Will The Real Dill Please Stand Up?

I just bought the real dill.  I hope.


A friend sold this weed pictured below (eupatorium capillifolium) to me about two years ago and told me it was dill. Dill is not a common herb here and most people I know don't know what it is nor how to use it. That includes me of course.  It is rather unfortunate that I have used what could be dog fennel in my cooking.  Perhaps it is the sterile cultivar elegant feather.  It is apparently good for warding off mosquitoes and ticks and fleas. Great. I will surround my house with them.
