Today’s Flowers: Marigold
Marigolds look pretty among the fallen leaves of autumn. These yellow and/or orange flowers grow in front and on the side of my house. I sprinkle the seeds in spots I want them to appear next spring.
Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, Luiz, for this lovely meme.

I never realized marigolds were still in bloom at this time of year. Great sight against the fallen red leaves and needles.

Leora: Nice shots of the little Marigold, thanks for sharing.
Darla says
Those are pretty. I don't have any with the reddish color in them. Do you collect the seeds?
leoraw says
Darla, I have collected seeds and put them in the refrigerator in the past. But now I just sprinkle them in a new place in my yard. I like spring surprises.
Carletta says
Your spring surprises sound wonderful.
My Dad always had marigolds when we were growing up.
Lovely!

How beautiful this blossom is within its autumn surroundings. This would be gorgeous on a canvas.
leoraw says
Ann, I am looking for a subject for a new painting. Hmmm, a marigold? Maybe.

I am glad to learn that marigolds will come back from the seeds. They are so pretty with the dried brown leaves surrounding them. I had to sit here for a moment and just take it all in. Very pretty.

I love marigolds. They used to grow well for me in N. California but not so well up here in Seattle, as they love heat and sun. So lovely. And the smell is practically in the photo!
And thanks for visiting my ruby leaves and leaving a kind comment. Much appreciated.

I haven't realized there were so many types of flowers.
I think my Art teacher in HS actually taught us how to draw that kind of flower, now I know what it looks like.
Their all beautiful!
Please leave a comment! I love to hear from you.
