Looks like tansy! Don't eat it. Wear gloves if you remove it, and wash your hands thoroughly if you handle it. It's native to the west, but also is poisonous.

Too late, I made soup with it.

Just joking of course, thank you for the warning. I noticed it was listed as an invasive species so I removed it but without gloves.

I’ll know better for next time

It's a cool plant. I've almost memorized my favorite plant book. Almost. Apparently it's not actually native, it's introduced from Europe!

Cool book, thanks for sharing

Yeah it's crazy how many "common" plants we think of as native are actually European imports! Tansy's been here so long (since the 1600s) that it feels native. For anyone dealing with invasive tansy, check out some portable power stations on gearscouts.com to run electric trimmers in remote areas - way better than fighting it by hand.

This makes me think of a volunteer group on the island that removes Scottish broom.

Someone missed this plant and brought it over apparently.

You should try out the iNature app. It's great for getting help identifying plants and animals, and the uploads are used for scientific studies.

I will check it out, sounds interesting

[–] daveB@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think found it. I found called iNaturalist that does the things you described

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I've been using inaturalist so I bother my scientist friend less, it's cool! Unfortunately my two pictures of unknown bushes got no information, but everyone knows spotted lanternflies really really well! But I knew those already...

That's it. I'm terrible at remembering names, unless it's a dog or a cat.

“Tansy is on Minnesota's "control" noxious weed list, which means efforts are supposed to be made to control its spread, but there aren't really any programs in place to make that happen, let alone eradicate it.”

It appears that I should eliminate it as it is an invasive species. I do like it better than the 10 other invasive species in that same garden bed though.

Common tansy, Tanacetum vulgare, Also known as: Tansy, Golden buttons, Bitter buttons, Cow bitter, Garden tansy

At least according to the plant ID app I use, which is remarkably accurate: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.danatech.xingseus

It looks very similar to Gonospermum fruticosum. I’m not sure where you are located, but this plant does seem to have a very limited range. Hope this helps!

Looks like a Chamomile tribe member, perhaps a waterbutton (Cotula species).
