On Calendula
Plants in the world, there are many categories, and Calendula is particularly unique. Its flowers are gorgeous, or golden like the sun, or orange-red like the summer, swaying in the wind, with unique charm.

When the flowers bloom, the petals are surrounded by layers, and the stamens are hidden in them, just like pearls hidden in brocade clusters.
Calendula has a wide range of uses. For medicinal purposes, it has the ability to reduce inflammation and swelling, heal skin wounds, and relieve pain. For consumption, it can enter tea, and the tea soup is bright in color, quiet in taste, and refreshing to drink. And it can be accompanied by meals to add color and flavor to the delicacies. In the ornamental field, whether it is planted in the courtyard or placed in the hall, it can add color to the environment and create an elegant atmosphere.
