Tanacetum vulgare, commonly known as Tansy, is a beautiful and versatile plant that attracts various insects with its vibrant yellow button-like flowers. In the Klein Schietveld Nature Reserve in Brasschaat, Belgium, even on a rainy day in August, two crickets can be seen happily feeding on the Tansy. This demonstrates the important role this plant plays in providing food for different species. Not only does Tansy serve as a source of nourishment for insects like crickets, but it also acts as a pollinator magnet. A female European hoverfly can be spotted diligently pollinating the Tansy's flowers. This interaction showcases how plants and insects rely on each other for survival. The historical significance is evident through an old handcoloured stipple copperplate engraving by Lambert Junior from Chaumeton's "La Flore Medicale. " It highlights the medicinal properties associated with this plant throughout history. Tansy's presence in British wildflowers is documented in an illustration from 1947 showcasing its variety alongside other native blooms such as Thorough Wort and Sassafras. Its inclusion speaks to its prevalence and importance within the natural landscape. Anne Pratt's artwork from 1891 further emphasizes Tansy's prominence by dedicating an entire piece to it alone. The intricate details capture its distinct features and celebrate its beauty. In addition to being visually appealing, it has been used traditionally for various purposes. Its association with yarrow, Ringelblume (Calendula officinalis), absinthe wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L. ), among others shows its versatility across cultures and applications. Lastly, an illustration depicting Tansy bearing yellow button-like flowers on tall stems with pinnately lobed green leaves below serves as a visual representation of this remarkable plant’s appearance.
