These photos were taken last summer at my daughter's home in Ontario, Oregon.
Merry marigolds are a sociable plant, happy to mingle with cosmos and other flowers.
but willing to border a walk without assistance. 
An individual head is handsome and vase-ready(although it won't add any fragrance to a room).
Some marigolds are yellow. Some marigolds are orange. 
Here they socialize with zinnias.

I love all the flowers, Granny Smith! I can't wait to have some blooming here, too. Marigolds are an under-appreciated flower these days, but they are so dependable, and I like to plant some around the vegetable garden--supposedly, they help to keep away certain pests. And in the fall, you can have MUMS, too!
Like Rose I too love flowers. I so agree that marigolds are under-estimated.
Have removed your first signature with Mr Linky.

Beautiful flowers!
I, too, plant marigolds around the veggie garden in hopes they will keep the bugs away.
Very pretty "M" I think marigolds are a sturdy flower and can blend well with others like you have shown here. Very nice post.
That is one thing to look forward to: Marigolds like those!
Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful flowers, beautiful colors! Can't wait to have more of them showing up around Seattle! Lovely post! Thank you!
I liked that you called the merigolds sociable. Very pretty choice for the letter M.
What a beautiful garden. I`m so ready for summer now :)
A marvellous garden, and well taken, too.
Beautiful pictures of flowers...much appreciated as it's a gray day here in Connecticut!
Your daughter has a lovely collection of marigolds.
Ah, these are wonderfully hued! We had more snow overnight so color is missing here. Totally. Nice post!
I wonder where the name came from. Maybe it has something to do with the Virgin Mary. Or maybe it actually means 'merry'.
My marigolds were a flop last year so I'm hoping this year they'll do better. Yours looks lovely!
what a merry marigolds! and I like your smile! warm greetings from East Borneo! =)
How pretty are these? I love them! I can't wait until flowers are in bloom around here! They just make every ordinary day so much more magical!
This was my favorite post all day! MaRvElOuS M! You are the coolest!
thank you for sharing those lovely flowers, granny.
Your daughter must have a very beautiful garden with all the flowers blooming! Magnificent flowers!
Marigold are cheerful as spring sunshine.
Beautiful flowers! I love marigolds because they are so hard working and they keep some bugs out of the garden. But, boy, do they ever smell like a wet dog!!
I love marigolds. When I was young we used to call these "French Marigolds", the common marigolds were the basic calendula type.
They are all very colourful.
I love 'cottage garden' flowers like marigolds! I even love their pungent scent. I think I'll plant some this year. :)
Beautiful
