A Medley of Red Yellow and Orange Marigolds Hip Flask

Marigolds aren't just eye candy; they've been used for culinary (teas, salads) and medicinal (anti-inflammatory) purposes for hundreds of years in European cultures. These beautiful, aromatic and showy blooms bloom all summer long into fall and even until the first frost. They are a natural mosquito repellent, and may also keep flower munchers like deer from the pride and joy in your garden. Photographed in mid June and mid July 2016 at local public and private gardens. Based on the original photography of W.H. Sim. All Rights Reserved. See more at zazzle.com/walkswithnature
