Calendula

[AlanLichty]

Calendula officinalis is also known as Pot Marigold and belongs to the daisy family. The bloom is apparently edible although I have never tried to eat them myself. They do have a nice looking flower and in this case a nice shaft of light coming through the trees with a late afternoon sun angle.

C&C always welcome.

I was saying, wait isn't this a Marigold? I don't know any of the scientifiic names, so that's for including that. Very nicely captured.

Thanks Jim - the stems and leaves are quite different from a normal marigold but they are all related. I need to make a point of wandering out to our garden area more often with late day sunlight with the isolated sunlight peeking through the trees. I shot this just before the firecracker columbine I posted yesterday.
