A Meandering Life...

Flower Friday 28 :: FF28 :: Mare's Fart

AKA ragwort, common ragwort, stinking willie, tansy ragwort, benweed, St. James-wort, stinking nanny/ninny/willy, staggerwort, dog standard, cankerwort, stammerwort and cushy. 


Even its official name, Jacobaea vulgaris, indicates this is not a very popular plant/flower. I guess this is because it is very poisonous to horses or anything else that might eat it.


At the moment it is about the only colour in my back garden. I can confirm I have no horses out there.
