@pyrrhula

That's interesting as the English full name is African Marigolds. I don't know why either!

[Pyrrhula]

@quietpurplehaze Even more as the place/country of origin is Mexico.

@pyrrhula

OK - one to follow up on Google when I get a spare moment!

@pyrrhula

I realise now that this is a French marigold - smaller ones - but they also come from Mexico - so we have French and African marigolds, both from Mexico - no clue as to their names!
