Marigolds from Saved Seeds. 7.8.2021

Last fall I saved seeds from a volunteer marigold. It was very compact with brick red-ish flowers. I planted the seeds this spring, and here they are. I didn't grow as many flowers as I wanted this year, so I appreciate these. Since it was a volunteer plant, these are at least third generation in my garden.

Seeds are becoming more expensive now. By saving seeds, the cost is completely free and they are known varieties that I already know will thrive in my own soil, climate, and garden.
