Its petals dry well to add color to potpourri.

That colour looks lovely with the Corydalis - I have a similar one (Corydalis lutea) in my garden, but mine has stopped flowering now.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-84270977640689966522017-10-23T21:44:56.178+01:002017-10-23T21:44:56.178+01:00I love Calendulas too, although they're prone ...I love Calendulas too, although they're prone to mildew here so I seldom grow them. The ones that worked the best for me grew from seeds, 2 or 3 years AFTER I planted them. The raccoons dug up the area in which I'd sown the seed so I gave up on their ever making an appearance but, when our winter rain came back in earnest, the plants finally appeared and bloomed. It was one of those little miracles.<br /><br />My sentimental favorite flower is the viola but, like you, my current favorite varies from one week to another. Barleria obtusa, the bush violet, is high on my list this week.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-85341299928877244922017-10-23T18:55:13.010+01:002017-10-23T18:55:13.010+01:00I love your sentiment regarding which flower you l...I love your sentiment regarding which flower you love the best, which I am sure many gardeners share. You have married up the calendula with the most lovely of foliages, and the vase too is just the right one, allowing the flowers to take center stage.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.com
