July 22. Neglected community garden.

I liked these yellow flowers in one of many overgrown sections of the community garden and I picked some to draw. Someone passing by said, "Those are yarrow."

I admit that I don't know yarrow from a yardstick, but I'm not convinced by the identification. I'm leaning toward tansy myself. After starting this blog only a short time ago, I've been amazed at how the answers to my questions arrive. I know I'll learn the right name of this plant soon enough. In the mean time, I know it droops soon after picking it.
