Feliz día de los Mu***os!
In Mexico, the marigold is known as flor de mu**to, which translates to "flower of the dead". The marigold is a key part of the annual Day of the Dead festival, Día de los Mu***os, where the bright orange flowers are used to decorate altars to the dead. The flower's strong scent and color are thought to help guide the spirits of the dead home.
Dia de los Mu***os is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd to honor loved ones who have passed.
I picked these marigolds today, November 1st. Happy day of the dead!
