Tansy

I know it is a terribly invasive weed, but the flowers are so cheerful! Especially on a winter's day, with snow blowing outside!

I am linking this post with Today's Flowers. Stop by and see what else is blooming!

Tansy

I am trying to get caught up on all the images

I want to share with you.

I am not sure it is possible...

Tansy

I have never noticed how long the tansy lasts.

 There are still blossoms,

 despite the frost.

Honeybee in the Tansy

This girl was working so hard that she paid me no attention.

 

Skywatch Friday

Tansy is an invasive weed,

 but I am fascinated with it, especially against the sky.

Skywatch Friday

The tansy is blooming now. We are having a lot of heat and humidity this week, and the skies are hazy in the early mornings.

Watery Wednesday

More photos of the first snowfall - black eyed Susans,

 burdock,

 tansy,

 lambs ears,

 hydrangea,

and borage.

 

Tansy

Another yellow flower found in waste land is tansy.

I think it used to be used as a dye plant.

I like it for the shape and the colour.

Once you get very close to the flower heads, the individual blossoms are interesting.

Bouquet

I picked myself a bouquet of flowers -

Queen Anne's lace, purple loosestrife, tansy, some wild grass, and a bit of sweet clover.

I love the mixture of colours and textures, shapes and colours. This Queen Anne's lace shows the purple heart of the flowerhead.
