How about the fact that Artemisia absinthium (wormwood) looks nothing like what the OP is attempting to portray.
The image posted is misleading because it has been cropped from a larger, more detailed image, namely
THIS ONE.
Also, the OP failed to provide the full description of the leaves.
The leaves are spirally arranged, greenish-grey above and white below, covered with silky silvery-white trichomes, and bearing minute
oil-producing glands; the basal leaves are up to 25 cm long, bipinnate to tripinnate with long petioles, with the cauline leaves (those on the stem)
smaller, 5-10 cm long, less divided, and with short petioles; the uppermost leaves can be both simple and sessile (without a petiole).
The key words here are bipinnate and tripinnate, meaning the leaves are subdivided as they extend.
This image better illustrates what I am talking about:
And the BP logo for comparison:
There is absolutely NO SIMILARITIES.
EDIT: Just re-read the OP, it seems he is calling the cropped image a flower. It is not a flower, it is young growth on the plant.
The FLOWER of the woomwood plant looks nothing like the the BP logo (see image above) at all.
20 flags for this?!
A new low for ATS.
