CALENDULAS AND MARIGOLDS
By Josie Whitehead
​Summer gardens, full of flowers,
Soak up the sunny summer hours
And there, amongst the rest, behold
The cheerful, orange marigold.
The mellow, yellow marigold
Looks doleful when the days are cold -
But, in the sunshine, petals bright,
It makes a truly joyous sight.
The calendula with flower of flame
Has brought this plant a lot of fame:
It’s healing properties in cream
Mean humans hold it in esteem.
Cuts and wounds from when you fall?
This cream will heal them one and all.
Rashes, burns all cause you grief.
The calendula will bring relief.
​
In summer gardens, sun or rain,
These joyous flowers supremely reign.
They grace the garden, bring delight
And paint a truly splendid sight.

Are calendulas the same as marigolds?
​
Calendulas are not the same as true marigolds. True marigolds are of the Tagetes genus and are popular ornamental plants. The two flowers look quite similar with their bright yellow and orange shades and are often confused.
