Marigolds

I, too, find the flower beautiful in its outward appearance: but a deeper beauty lies concealed within. -- Piet Mondrian

Sunset of marigolds; another weekend too soon over. But what a beautiful weekend it was...

According to Wikipedia, marigold can refer to flowering plants in the family Asteraceae or in the family Ranunculaceae; a short story by Eugenia Collier, Marigolds; or a song by Nirvana, Marigold.

For me, marigolds are a memory of my aunt's garden, a piquant salsa of scents, and sturdy, bright faces of hope.

Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God. -- Jean Anouilh
