Mary's Gold

[AlanLichty]

Calendula officinalis has several different names including Mary's Gold, common marigold, pot marigold, and ruddles. It's been cultivated just about forever and was once used for medicine according to Wikipedia. In this case the blooms were closer to potted marigolds out for sale looking quite colorful in front of a store I was walking into so I grabbed a shot.

C&C always welcome.

Thanks - cruising through the racks of flowers looking for displays like this near the doors at Freddie's is the best part about shopping for groceries.

Thanks Michael - the point of view for shots like this is always dictated by trying to fit the subject in the frame without revealing the setting.
