A to Z Blogging Challenge - M is for Marigold

M is for Marigold
Tagetes, Calendula officinalis


It has been said that even just looking at marigolds can comfort the heart and spirits, and strengthen the eyesight.  It has anti-inflammatory properties and you may find it in lotions to help ease skin discomforts.  Some say a quick do-it-yourself remedy of rubbing the marigold flower on a bee or wasp sting can help ease the pain and swelling.
