The large sized marigolds have taken years to get back here. There were seeds bought, seeds given to me in the past and none survived. This plant is from seeds that a friend of mine gave me this year. I sowed the seeds and many of them germinated. I did not expect results but now I see a few of them standing tall. I truly am in love with these marigolds.

They look like African Marigolds. I love all sorts of marigolds and grow a lot of them.

They indeed are African Marigolds and I do not know how many times I tried growing them. They are so easy to grow. And finally here they are.

And so am I plus they are said to keep insects away from other nearby plants! The seeds your friend gave you were surely magical!

You are right about insects staying away where marigolds are present. You can say that again. Those seeds were indeed fertile

This is beautiful. It is also a common plant here and it seems it can grow easily.

I agree with you that it is easy to grow marigolds and so I still do not know why it was acting so mighty (lol)

Do you have them in your garden? Yes so easy to grow but they play up sometimes as they did in my garden

Beautiful marigold. Life is like that when planting. I can relate . I have planted many seeds but most of them did not grow.
