SOOC, French Marigolds, Tagetes patula
I bought these as companion plants for my tomatoes.
They, supposedly, repel insect pests and attract butterflies.
Have a beautiful day!

Such a rich shade of gold! These flowers must look wonderful together!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colour. I am really starting to take a lot of these (sort of) abstract macros - it certainly makes you look closely at things.

Stunning flowers!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! I used to plant marigolds around my tomatoes. I'm not sure if it helped or not, but they do add some nice color!
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if marigolds (and I heard it has to be the French marigolds) really do repel pests, but it certainly doesn't hurt to try, and they are such a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteThey're very pretty and I love the colour.

beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKove, love, love this color of marigolds. And your photo captured the richness of the color just perfectly. And if they don't repel insects, at least the tomato garden will be beautiful
ReplyDeletelol...I need to plant them around the pasture. The gnats have been horrible.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color.
Marigolds were the first plant I learned to plant from seed. It is a plant of my childhood. Fond memories!!
