My wildflower book tells me that common tansy used to have medicinal uses (no more) but fresh leave and flowers can still be used as a substitute for sage in recipes. After seeing how Fenway "claims" most bushes/trees/weeds as we walk….and seeing all the other dogs walking around the area I don't think I'll ever try that.
Ladys thumb "escaped" from Europe and the British Isles to make it's way to America - like many other imports that come to mind. It is now "abundant"! Whatever….finding new bits of color as we walk is entertaining!
Will be keeping my eyes open tomorrow.
