John Mitchell Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I'm hoping someone can help me identify this flower. Thanks a bunch in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly does look like a pot marigold. What app's do you use BTW? UPDATE: Or is it Calendula? Edited August 1, 2021 by John Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Rider Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I use Seek and Google Lens. Honestly I think it could be either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Seek on my phone. Shall have a look at Google Lens. Yes, the flower looks like it could be either -- story of my life. 🙃 Or are Calendula and Pot Marigold one in the same?

Sharon Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Yes, looks like a Pot Marigold - Calendula officinalis... so they are the same thing. Oops.. I just discovered this site. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/marigold/marigold-vs-calendula.htm So, maybe they`re not the same thing after all.

I'm leaning more in Calendula direction after reading it, although I suppose "my flower" might be some kind of hybrid. This could end up being another "pretty flower" pic. I now have quite a few of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
