Orange Calendula
Orange Calendula — also called Pot Marigold — is one of the most cheerful and useful flowers in the garden, producing a long season of brilliant, bright-orange, daisy-like blooms with a warm, slightly resinous fragrance from spring until hard frost. Every part of the flower is edible: the vibrant petals add golden color and a mild, pleasantly bitter flavor to salads, rice dishes, and infused oils, and have been used for centuries as a natural orange food dye and gentle skin-soothing herb. A prolific, easy-going annual that self-sows generously.
