The common Marigold or is it?? / Calendula officinalis petals can be used as a replacement for, the really expensive, saffron in cooking. They can be made into an oil that can alleviate common skin complaints eg chaffing and nappy rash. The orange petals contain a stimulant, that when infused with boiling water and taken hot, helps induce persiration and bring down fevers. Great for stuffy noses and to bathe sore eyes. They can also be used in poultices for strains and bruises. /

Make Up Your Mind is a group dedicated to artworks created using makeup products. / This is drawn in pencil and scanned, then overlayed over two backgrounds painted with makeup. / One layer is painted with various purple and blueygreen eyeshadows mixed with calendula cream. It was then dusted with what I call pink fairy dust… the label states its a dusting powder (for cheeks). / The other is painted with lime and teal eyeshadows again mixed with calendula cream. / My original idea was of course drawing Cinders with the eye pencils, but they’ve gone walkabout!!! Never mind. I’m quite happy with how this has turned out. I just hope it has enough makeup in it. Did I mention I’ve put Cinders on a tShirt? / /

Photograph taken 28 March 2009. A very vivid flower in very subdued dawn light: this has not been photoshopped to create colour intensity or saturation – as is. Courtesy Wikipedia Calendula (pronounced /kəˈlɛndjuːlə/ Ca-lén-du-la), pot marigold, is a genus of about 12-20 species of annual or perennial herbaceous plants in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the area from Macaronesia east through the Mediterranean region to Iran. Calendula should not be confused with other plants that are also known as marigolds, such as plants of the genus Tagetes, corn marigolds or marsh marigolds. The name Calendula stems from the Latin kalendae, meaning first day of the month, presumably because pot marigolds are in bloom at the start of most months of the year. The common name marigold probably refers to the Virgin Mary, or its old Saxon name ‘ymbglidegold’, which means ‘it turns with the sun’. Marigolds typically bloom quickly (in under two months) in bright yellows, reds, and oranges throughout the summer and well into the fall. Marigolds are considered by many gardening experts as one of the most versatile flowers to grow in a garden, especially since it is easy to grow. Seeds sown in the spring, in most soils, will germinate freely in sunny or half-sunny locations. They do best, however, if planted in sunny locations with rich, well-drained soil. The leaves are spirally arranged, 5-18 cm long, simple, and slightly hairy. The flower heads range from pastel yellow to deep orange, and are 3-7 cm across, with both ray florets and disc florets. They have a spicy aroma and are produced from spring to autumn in temperate climates. It is recommended to deadhead (removal of dying flower heads) the plants regularly to maintain even blossom production. Marigolds are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Cabbage Moth, The Gothic, Large Yellow Underwing and Setaceous Hebrew Character. Marigold petals are considered edible. They are often used to add color to salads, and marigold extract is commonly added to chicken feed to produce darker egg yolks. Their aroma, however, is not sweet, and resembles the smell of hops in beer. The oil from its seed contains calendic acid. For Marigold Symbolism scroll to the bottom of the page!

Marigold Flower Symbolism / Marigolds are known as the “Herb of the Sun” and are symbolic of passion and creativity. The Welsh believed that if marigolds were not open early in the morning, then a storm was on the way. Marigolds have been used as love charms and incorporated into wedding garlands. Water made from marigolds was thought to induce psychic visions of fairies if rubbed on the eyelids. In some cultures, marigold flowers have been added to pillows to encourage prophetic or psychic dreams. The Marigold and Astrology / The marigold is also associated with the lion and the astrological sign Leo. Early Christians named the flower “Mary’s Gold” and offered the blossoms in place of money at the foot of her statues. The Portuguese introduced marigolds into India. Eventually the flower was offered to the Hindu gods Vishnu and Lakshmi. The marigold is also considered to be sacred among the Aztec Indians, who decorate their temples with the flower. / The marigold was once thought to protect against the plague and to be effective in stopping gossip. Interestingly, the marigold can symbolize cruelty and jealousy. When used in combination with spells, however, the marigold is an anti-dote for the sharp-tongued and promotes cheery conversations. Marigold Distribution / Marigolds can be found in Europe, Africa and the Americas. Marigolds can adapt to a wide range of conditions, but prefer full sun and rich soils. Interesting Facts About Marigolds* / The leaves of marigolds have been used to remove warts. Marigolds are also grown and harvested in Mexico to be added to chicken feed. Chickens eating marigold-enriched feed produce eggs with a deep yellow color. The flesh of chickens fed marigolds also take on a rich color to make them more appealing for human consumption The blossoms themselves are quite edible for humans, too, and are often used in egg and cheese dishes. The blossoms also make a yellow dye for fabric. Marigold, also called calendula, is the October birth flower. Sometimes called “summer bride” or “husbandmans dial,” because it’s flower head follows the sun. The Marigold’s flower meaning is “winning grace.” Once considered the most sacred of flowers, in India it was placed around the necks of holy statues. Marigold is found through Europe, the United States, and western Asia. The marigold is an annual flower that blooms well even over a long season. They bloom practically non stop the entire summer and have few problems. Marigolds are good cleansers and can be remedies for the sting of bees. Marigolds are also known as calendula, garden marigold, holligold, goldbloom, golds, ruddes, Mary bud, bull’s eyes, and pot marigold.

An Experiment in shooting in Raw format. Using Photoshop, I was able to bring out not only the softness of this orange Calendula but the definition of it’s petals. What fun, I’ve been experimenting all week with the Raw format and have enjoyed it immensely. Original image taken in my garden in Shady Cove, Oregon / With an Olympus E-620 and a 50mm lens
