That’s a lovely Peacock. We get mostly dull butterflies here, unless you go up to the tropics. Which clearly we’re not, currently.

I rather enjoyed wikipedia-ing tansy, particularly the History of Uses section:
"During the Middle Ages and later, high doses were used to induce abortions. Contradictorily, tansy was also used to help women conceive and to prevent miscarriages. In the 15th century, Christians began serving tansy with Lenten meals to commemorate the bitter herbs eaten by the Israelites. Tansy was thought to have the added Lenten benefits of controlling flatulence brought on by days of eating fish and pulses and of preventing the intestinal worms believed to be caused by eating fish during Lent."
But also that it was a flavouring for puddings and omelettes, but is now almost unknown, except in Cork.
