Here is an afternoon picture of two Chamomiles.

(left) German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). This plant is not in the botanical Chamomile genus, but it is the plant used throughout the ages for its beneficial properties and is used commercially to make Chamomile tea.
(right) English or Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). This is a true botanical Chamomile and it does have a sweet smell, but it is mostly void of the beneficial essential oils present in German Chamomile. However, it is often sold as "Chamomile for tea" in both seed and live plant form.
