There seems to be a lot of contradiction and confusion when it comes to Marigold uses and identification.
Some say Calendula off. is the one and only. Others say Tagetes is the one to use.
I have a five petal (said to be Marigold) that is not matched in all the pictures that I’ve found on the internet so far.
I tried to download a picture of it here, without sucess.
If there is someone who can identify it please send me youe e-mail address and I’ll email a reduced picture to you.
Its all rather confusing.
The same applies to Elderberry.
