Marsh Marigolds


I'm sharing some photos of the marsh marigolds for Friday's Flowers.  They are a few days later coming into bloom this year as spring has had a slow start.

Marsh marigolds, cowslips or caltha palustris are lovely yellow blooming plants that grow in shallow water near marshy or swampy areas.

The plants grow 45 to 60 cm. high and the flowers are about 4 cm. across.

The rounded buds open up to lovely bright yellow blooms.

I hope you have some Friday flowers to enjoy.
Why not stop over to Tootsie Time and see lots more.

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day.

  5. What a certain sign of spring! I love marsh marigolds. We used to mistakenly call them buttercups, but by any name, they're still lovely.

  6. your yellow marigold are attention getters! when i first started gardening 3 years ago, i stayed away from yellow for some reason. i added yellow day lillies last summer and i really liked them. i see how a contrasting flower adds a little extra bling to the gardens. i like it. i will be back to get more inspiration from you. thank you. kk
