Marigold
      
        Marigold (Tagetes patula) is a flower in the Asteraceae family native to the south of Mexico, though now naturalized around the world. The genus name of the botanical – Tagetes – comes from the Etruscan prophet Tages, born from the plowing of the earth. The name likely refers to the ease with which marigolds come out each year.
