Mexican marigolds
Day-of-Dead flowers
Mexican marigolds are bright orange and yellow flowers native to Mexico, widely cultivated for ornamental use and cultural significance.
They are central to Día de los Muertos celebrations, where their vivid color and strong scent are believed to guide spirits of the dead.
The flowers also appear in gardens as pest deterrents and in traditional medicine and cooking.
