* Flower of the Month - Calendula *
The name Calendula stems from the Latin word "kalendae", which
means first day of the month.
Calendula are easy annuals to grow from seed. Once they are
established they will self-seed regularly each year. They add brilliant
color to any garden bed or border.
Besides being an attractive flower in the garden, Calendula are also
grown as an edible ingredient for cakes and breads; and are also
used for their healing qualities in teas, salves, lotions and homeopathic
tinctures.
Collect the seeds of Calendula to enjoy these flowers for years to
come. |
