RE: Petals YellowflowerDay Contest Entry "Calendula" by Sunscape
Quite lovely and so uplifting! The thin petals do make this a most interesting flower! I'm not familiar with Calendula - I've heard of them, but never knew anyone who grew any. Do you buy the plants every year or do you plant seeds?
Hi @violetmed, I actually grow most of my plants from seed. I start them mid-march under lights before I move them to the greenhouse. I use the flowers to infuse into the oils for some of my soaps. I choose to grow my own so that I know they really are organic.
Oh, that is fantastic. I really want a small greenhouse for my backyard. Maybe someday soon!
