    I agree with Emerson — every “weed” has it’s virtues. We just have to find them, don’t we? Love photographing Tansy — so pretty!

    I had no idea what this was, and I have seen a few of them. Really beautiful photographs of this unusual and beautiful flower, Barb.

    Thank you so much for sharing this today at The Creative Exchange.

    Have a wonderful evening.

    Great shots! Tansy is reputed to be invasive, but I have decided I don’t care. Next year I am planting some anyway!
