Calendula officinalis

in photography •  7 years ago 

This afternoon, I was able to capture macro photography shots of some Calendula officinalis plants, commonly known as Pot Marigold plant. All shots were taken using a Canon 80D camera.

It is believed that this plant originated in Europe, but is now found in many places that have a warm climate. They can grow year around if the conditions remain optimal for it, usually warm and humid, and are an essential food source for numerous types of moths and their larvae.

Not only are the colors of this plant quite beautiful, but is of a particular use as well. It is believed that the flowers have been used as a source for dying certain types of fabric, resulting in a similar color of the petals. Also the petals and flower have some medicinal properties when combined with certain types of oils. Pretty and beneficial: a perfect match!

Truly an all-around well-rounded plant.

One love,

I'm from Venezuela and here we call the Marigolds Margaritas. These flowers are really beautiful!

@jdbs No sabía eso. Sabía que el nombre de las margaritas era diferente, pero no estaba seguro de que hubiera una frase diferente para las maravillas. ¡Gracias por la información y gracias por el comentario!
