Common Tansy

A blip from the garden. Common Tansy.

According to the internet the volatile oil in the plant’s leaves and flowers contains Thujone, a toxic compound that can cause internal damage if consumed. Common tansy has been used as an insect repellent in the past and was commonly packed into coffins.
