"Going For Gold." Petals Contest. #Yellow Flower Day
"Going For Gold," is my entry for the Flowers Contest hosted by @petals and initiated by @adrianobalan and @sardrt
GOLDEN MARIGOLDS. (Tagetes Tenuifolia)
Rich in colour, these Marigolds display a wealth of gold, copper and brass tones and brighten up any garden. They have been referred to as The Golden Jewels of the Garden.
Their daisy-like appearance or their double carnation look provide a glorious show throughout the summer.
They can be single or double clusters and they are actually an edible herb or as a medicine and are also used as a garnish. Some forms are regarded as toxic so it is a good idea to check first before digesting them in any form.
Marigolds are regarded as one of the easiest plants to grow and they are often planted because of their characteristic scent which acts as an insect repellent. However, they attract butterflies so this adds to their value for many nature lovers.
Thank you very much @petals

Thank you dear Erika. xox
These are gorgeous yellows! I have loved marigolds since I was a little girl. I used to cut small bouquets of them for the inside of the house. John isn't a fan so I don't grow them .... I love visiting the nurseries so I can get a small of them again.
Beautiful photos!
