I saw these marigolds on a walk and loved their orangey red petals with yellow edges. A few of the flowers are past their glory days and have gone to seed. All the better to plant more for next year.
What flowers are blooming near you?

These are lovely – so vibrant. I planted lots of marigold seeds this year, but only three of them managed to produced a very poor little flower. I’m hoping for better luck next year.

I was lucky, my mom bought me four plants and all but one did well. I might look for this variety next year!

What a dear cat. Marigolds are traditional Mexican Day of the Dead flowers for those who have passed on.

I never knew that, thank you for sharing. I will think of him and others even more now when I sow my marigolds each year

Have you seen the animated movie Coco? I recommend it. Good movie and great Mexican culture references, like marigolds decorating gravestones.

I really got into marigolds when I realized they could be used to discouraged unfriendly insects in a garden.

They are wonderful that way, it’s true! They deter some rodents, not all….
