tanzy

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, tanzy has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Stuff You Should Know (Nov 2025). Introduced as an unfamiliar flower whose meaning could be to 'declare war,' underscoring the breadth of the flower-code system.

Tansy is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant in the genus Tanacetum in the family Asteraceae, native to temperate Europe and Asia. It has been introduced to other parts of the world, including Australia and North and South America, and in some areas has become invasive. It is also known as common tansy, bitter buttons, cow bitter, or golden buttons. The Latin word vulgare means "common".
