Bright yellow
It will bloom only when it's hot
Then comes the frost
All petals are lost
And the rest will soon start to rot.
Calendula
It is also called Pot marigold and it is one of the flowers that my mum has in a garden without even sowing them. They will regrow on their own every year in many parts of the vegetable garden. Most are picked and treated as weeds. If we kept them all we would have no space for other plants. The will bloom all summer long until the first frosts and in that time produce hundreds of seeds that spread freely.
The ones that are allowed to stay in some less busy parts or between some bigger veggies that don't mind smaller neighbour.
The flowers are edible, but even though we have them available in large amounts, we have never used it this way. You can just add the flowers or just petals to a salad.
They are also use in cosmetics.

cool ... so beautiful. thank you very much for sharing this very charming flower image I really like it.
Thanks! I am glad you did :)
Nice song, interesting...😎
I knew that it was used in cosmetics, but I didn't know the petals were edible 👌
I have never tried them though... I don't quite know why.
The wilted flower turned out beautifully!
It did :) I like hoe the petals shrink and twist.
Yes it's beautiful!
You can make tea from calendula flower too.Tea(dried flowers) can also be found in pharmacies.
Hmm... I can't remember if I saw tea before.
How does it tastes?
I tried with help of Google T to translate this.

Neven is Calendula. You can find many sites Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian about Calendula-Neven. It is very healthy.
About the taste ...you can use a lot of lemons. It is not so bad, but nothing special as many other healthy things.
Beautiful yellow calendula! I must try to grow some here!
Once you start, you wont be able to get rid of it :p
Really! I’ll grow them in pots!! LoL
Like if they care if they are in pots or not :p
Oh! They love freedom too much! LoL
You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)
So, is ti yours? I mean verse?
Haha yea :)
That's the peak of my poetry abilities :p
The best poems are yet to come!
Wouldn't count on it :p
Everything develops with practice, + reading classical poets and learning new words, and success in this matter may not be a masterpiece, but it will still be!
There is a problem you see.. I don't really like poetry, nor I read it.
The things I write are just for fun... with silly rhymes stuck in my head for whatever reason.
Well, these silly rhymes, over time, are still expressed more clearly and meaningfully ...
