Flowers By Month Explanation:

Marigold or Calendula is the flower associated with October.

For the Hindus, the month of October is associated with festivals like Dusshera, Diwali & Marigold.

Although relatively a recently introduced flower from the New World, has come to be an auspicious flower is part of religious ceremonies.

However, in the English culture, marigold stands for sorrow & sympathy.

Perhaps derivative of its original symbolic association with death in the traditions of Mexico, as in the Day of the Dead, parallel to the Lily in Europe.

(Calendula, is a genus of about 15–20 species of annual &

perennial herbaceous plants in the daisy family.

Asteraceae that are often known as marigolds.)

Both of the October birth flowers are colorful annuals that thrive in full sun.

The October birth flowers are the marigold & the cosmos.

THE MARIGOLD
