They make such a gorgeous blast of colour, no wonder the Hindu have adopted them as the Diwali flower they are stunning.
Did you know that marigold petals are edible? When fresh they don't really taste of much but look terrific in salads and as a garnish for practically anything, when dried they smell and taste similar to dried coriander seeds.
