Cheering Up Mondays #284

I love calendula, they’re such cheerful and easy to grow flowers.

Calendula officinalis ‘Canteloupe’

This is a new one in the garden this year – part of my 2021 gardening trials. I was given the seed by Chiltern Seeds and it’s really rather good. I like the soft shading on the petals.

So far, the flowers that have opened have been this soft orange but the description promises shades of creamy-yellow and pinky-apricots. Let’s hope I get a good mix.

For a weekly dose of floral cheer, just follow my blog.
