Every time I think of marigolds, I think of my late MIL. She planted marigolds every year filling multiple planters with these cheery little flowers. I have some of her seeds still which I really would like to sow this spring but haven’t gotten around to doing it. Your poem is a lovely tribute to her even if you didn’t know you were doing it. Thanks for refreshing some memories for me.
Beautiful as usual Eugenia! π β€
