Chamomile and Minnesota

Perhaps one of you can help me figure this one out.

For some odd reason, the smell of chamomile immediately conjures up Northern Minnesota (and I mean far Northern, the Gunflint Trail area to be precise). I am not sure why. I don't recall drinking chamomile tea or chamomile grappa on any of my trips there. Perhaps it grows wild up there? The olfactory memory is somehow linked with rain, but you frequently get afternoon rains up there, so it could just be the setting of the Boundary Waters that implies rain.

Are any of you from Grand Marais or have spent time up there recently? Does the stuff grow wild in the North Woods? If I don't get an answer I may just have to take a canoe trip and do some exploration. Wouldn't mind fishing for Northerns at the same time!
