Description
Tansy flowers, Tanacetum vulgare – black and white photo. The clusters of tansy flowers stand out against a dark, blurred background, captured in a monochromatic tone. The stems and leaves of the plant create a contrasting pattern with the delicate blooms. Tansy, scientifically known as Tanacetum vulgare, is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant that originates from temperate regions of Europe and Asia. However, it has been introduced to other parts of the world, where it has become an invasive species in certain areas. This plant, also referred to as common tansy, bitter buttons, cow bitter, or golden buttons, is characterized by its sturdy, reddish-tinged, erect stem and bright yellow, button-like flowers. The leaves, which are arranged alternately on the stem, have a fern-like appearance due to their pinnately lobed shape and saw-toothed edges. While the plant emits a distinctive scent reminiscent of camphor with subtle hints of rosemary, it is important to note that its leaves and flowers are toxic if consumed in large quantities.
