Beautiful. Marigolds always remind me of my auntie. for some reason it was the only flower she ever planted in her garden. She was slightly eccentric, ha ha.
I adore the smell and sight of marigolds - gorgeous plants. I don't know what it is like in Pennslyvania, but here in England they try to force all the plants for the Easter weekend as it is traditionally a gardening weekend. It was way too cold and wet so lots of the garden centres are in trouble now! I think it's only really safe to plant out bedding in mid to late May here after the frosts have passed.
Beautiful shot. This Spring I had one-third of my garden planted with marigolds and they made a great spectacle. They are still blooming at the moment, though not as much as a month ago.
