These flowers and I have had quite a journey.
The first time in encountered Marigold flowers, i'd ordered a box of dried flowers for my bath and along with different types of roses, the marigold flowers arrived from amazon. I took a yellow bath in these flowers to balance my solar plexus and while I had no way to measure how balanced my solar plexus had become from the bath, it did feel very good to emerge from my very fragrant bath with a glow to my earth sleeve (my skin).
The second time I encountered these flowers was in a sachet on the home depot seed rack. I was looking through the large selections of flowers and trying to decide which flowers I connected with. When I took home the sachet and opened them to find tiny flyaway like seeds, I realized that with seeds designed like this (google the seed), these flowers must grow everywhere. I started a nursery with 50 seeds and only 10 of them survived, I guess thats survival of the fittest at work here... story of life...
The third time I encountered these flowers, they were sitting in a bucket dying. The flowers hung lifeless from the plant and all the leaves begged for a taste of water. I had never worked on saving flowers before this but it was enjoyable. First, I brought them home to my garden and watered them until the leafs started to regain their life. Next, I cut off all the dead leafs and flowers from the plant leaving it looking somewhat 'naked' but after a few days, it started to regain its fullness and new flowers (photographed) were blossoming . I learned the pleasure of saving a life from these marvelous marigolds .
Now that I have these lovely flowers all over my garden, I of course start to look into their story. It turns out that these plants are angels of protection for my garden. Something about their strong fragrance drive away bad bugs from the garden. They also happen to be good medicinal flowers known to have antiseptic properties, reduce inflammation and help with providing ease to the female body when mother nature comes for her monthly dues.
What a journey!
