Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) at @nottswildlife.bsky.social Attenborough Nature Reserve last week. Intensely golden in the late afternoon sun, at the end of a walk and natter with an old friend. #DaisyFamily #wildflowerhour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social
Tansy flower head, like a cluster of gold buttons, with fern-like leaves. Pictured here against a wooden fence. Not the best specimen, but the only one not waving around in the breeze!
