Since the last rain, this plant has been making its way in our garden.

It looks like a rosemary, it is growing a couple feet from an old rosemary bush, and its tender leaves kinda taste like one. We're not quite sure it is one, though.

Is it a rosemary, or something else?

It looks more like a young Helichrysum italicum than Rosemary, but since that's the curry plant, meaning it smells of curry when you bruise the leaves, it shouldn't be hard to tell. It's not toxic to eat, but does not impart a curry flavour to food - the flowers are yellow, and the oil from those is used as a herbal remedy for various things.
