Not many zinnias this year. This little fellow was a volunteer, peeping out from underneath the stone at the base of a palm tree.

Marigolds seed themselves, it is true. The others were all planted.

I’ve never, ever, seen a marigold that looks like that. How wonderful! 🙂 (Do snails love it as much as they do ‘ordinary’ ones?

I have recently noticed that I have snails again after eradicating them many years ago. Perhaps that is why. To get rid of snails, cut up hair clippings very fine and scatter them around plants. It works.

I have to agree with Val: I’ve never seen a marigold like that, nor with leaves like that, so I’d have guessed it a zinnia. But you’ll definitely know by the smell; there’s a reason marigolds repel bugs. 🙂

Darn!!! You are right, Christine. What’s wrong with me? I don’t even like marigolds. I’m allergic to them. Where is my mind lately? I always appreciate be straightened out on such matters. Thanks for telling me. I’ll change my title and tags.

You’re welcome. I love the way those little blossoms bloom inside the big one. I think that’s a bit of genetic engineering we can enjoy in our day. But I’ve never seen a marigold do that, either.

Nor I. Just a mind glitch.
