Calendula Flowers





Aren’t they beautiful? Such pretty flowers. Everyone likes to have them in the garden.

They brighten up any area that needs a bit of color. We have them growing with the strawberries, between the lettuces and everywhere we found a spot for them.

But being pretty is not all they can do. These flowers have some powerful healing mojo. There are lots of sources to learn about all the beautiful properties of this plant.

One use we heard off is the soothing of skin conditions - for people and for dogs. Little Miss BB has been itching and scratching. She has red spots on her skin.

My roommate was able to get a bag of dried petals through a “Buy Nothing” group and has made a strong tea to put on Miss BB skin. We hope it will help her.

In the meantime, I will keep taking pictures of the flowers. They really are pretty! And easy to grow.

Do you have Calendula flowers growing? Or have you made any preparations with them? Re you serving them in your salad?

Never seen such calendula, amazing colors, what is the variety?

I am not sure. We have an active seed swapping community here in San Diego and it came from one of the exchanges...
