Calendula with satellite blooms
19 years ago
I planted seeds in March and have good growth and bloom, but I had never seen a flower with satellite blooms emerging from between the sepals of the flower. Is this a common occurance with calendulas? Interestingly, one of the satellite blooms has now grown a satellite flower itself, and in a different color, yellow.
