I loved knowing about Marigold flowers, Chitrangada, from this article. I hope other readers will too.
Thank you so much Rosina, for reading, appreciating, and sharing this article.
I am so happy to read your positive feedback.
Have a wonderful day.
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.
This was a very informative article, Chitrangada. I never knew the ease with which marigolds could be regrown. Thank you for sharing so many interesting facts about marigolds and how they are used also.
Thank you for sharing the link, Rosina.
Thank you John, for reading this article and appreciating it. I am glad that you found it informative.
Yes, it's not that difficult to grow these beautiful flowers in home gardens.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support.
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.
Hello Peggy!
Thank you for reading my article and sharing your thoughts. Your grandfather was right about the benefits of planting marigold flowers along with other vegetable plants in the garden.
I am pleased to read your comments.
Appreciate your kind words and support.
Thank you and good day.
This is an excellent article, Chitrangada. I have grown marigolds often over the years, but never from did petals. I didn't know how popular they were in India. Your carefully spelled out the method for their growth, and your pictures are excellent.
Thank you for posting this article,Rosina.
Hello Pamela!
I am pleased to know that you have grown marigolds in your garden.
Yes, it’s easy to grow them with dried petals, because each petal has a tiny seed in it, marigolds being a compound flower.
These bright flowers are very popular in India, and they are considered auspicious as well.
Thank you for appreciating the article and my photos.
Have a wonderful day.
