Mexican Marigold...

Here it is! The first bloom on our Mexican Marigolds. There are several more still to bloom, but this is the first. I'll be interested to see if there are any variations in color.

Still struggling with internet...

Beautiful color. Love the focus and the green background framing it.

I have never seen these marigolds before. I like the ruffled petals. Beautiful shot.

@ctclady Thanks, Carol. Yes, they are.

I've not seen these before. It has a bold color and it's interesting how the petals seem to be separated from the center.

@randystreat These are very different from what we are used to. We have had two plants open now and they are very different. The leaves of the plant look like typical marigolds, but much taller.
