What a gorgeous banner, Fleur! I love marigolds - such pretty and old-fashioned blooms, one of my grandmother's favourites; she used to use them to deter slugs and snails. I didn't know one plant could have blooms of different colours.

I can almost see the rabbits scurrying away and the mosquitos buzzing off... Great banner with wonderful colors, textures, a spectacular capture of light, Fleur!
Whitebeard hit it right on the head when he wrote "the humility and gentility of the image". A perfect description of what I was trying to portray. The common marigold having a unique quality being discovered by me and sharing it with you, fellow gardeners. Thank you for your comments, thumbs up, and acorns. Whitebeard thank you for the lyrical observation.
