Wild Tansy is one of those plants that grows along the side of the road, or in an abandoned field, that really is considered to be more of a weed than a wildflower. Most people yank it from their gardens if ever it shows up, lest it gain a foothold.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, I feel a little more tenderness towards the lowly Tansy. Their button top umbrella shaped clusters of flowers<\/em>, and their feather-like leaf fronds, are interesting to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

They do have a pungent smell though… not unlike many of the other roadside companions<\/em> that they hang out with. Although I have not had the chance to do any research on the Wild Tansy, my guess is they have some sort of medicinal properties… most herbaceous weeds<\/em> like this, do.<\/span><\/p>\n

I actually find the the whole idea of herbs and their uses fascinating. It is as though I once was an medicine woman who roamed the forest collecting herbs in a little leather pouch around my neck, to bring back to my tribe as remedies and to make dyes for the endless crafts that I did… of course :)<\/span><\/p>\n

So without traveling too far down this garden path, what I will say is that it is my kindred feelings towards wild plants and flowers, that compels me to value their beauty… when most others would pass them over without much thought.<\/span><\/p>\n

And in a roundabout way, this explains why Doug’s Wild Tansy photo taken during our Summer 2013 PcT Roadtrip<\/a>, became my inspiration for the Vol-070 A-series color palette.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
