Plant ID

There is this plant coming up in my wildflower area and as far as I can tell I've only one..
It looks like a fern although it isn't, and it smells strongly like sage. The leaflets are serrated.
Any guesses?

Thanks

Vera

Vera - could it be tansy? Do a google image search on tansy and you'll get plenty of examples.

Yes, I think it is Tansy! I used google images. Definatley not the Tansy Ragwort tho...thank goodness.
Maybe I should be moving this to my herb bed?

Your a pretty good guesser Veronica :)

Vera - it was your comment about the smell that tipped me off. Tansy has a very distinct scent to the foliage.
