      Fascinating read. I had no idea marigolds can be grown by drying the flower petals. We have marigolds here in Florida. They're a good companion plant for herbs and vegetables because they help keep pests away. I'll have to try this method of growing marigolds.
      
      And as always, Chitrangada's photography is stunning!

         Hello Shauna!
         Great to read your comments. I am glad that you liked my article and it’s content.
         The Marigold flower is in fact a compound flower, and as such each petal holds a tiny seed at it’s bottom. When we spread the dried petals on wet soil, we are in fact dispersing tiny seeds with them.
         You are right that these flowers keep pests away.
         Thank you for appreciating my photography.
         Have a great day and Happy New Year to you.

   The dried seeds from marigolds are easy to propagate.  I never realized how important they are in Indian weddings, etc.  If planted around other vegetable plants in a garden, they can repel bugs that might damage other crops.  I learned that from my grandfather who used to love gardening.  Thanks Rosina for sharing Chitrangada's article with us.

      Yes, it’s easy to grow them with dried petals, because each petal has a tiny seed in it, marigolds being a compound flower.
