Marigold

Calendula officinalis growing in among the medicinal plants.

Calendula creams or oils can be helpful in case of skin rashes or other skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis. The cream can soothe burns and promote wound healing and reduce inflammation.

The petals of the flower can also be dried and then made into a tea. This helps digestion and is also anti-inflammatory.

So not only is this plant very pretty. It also has many therapeutic qualities.

We have had several light downpours today and very little sun. The raindrops look pretty on this orange flower.
