In life, there are times you would feel so emotional and passionate of something. You have lots of ideas in mind, dreams, and memories. Every time I miss something, I’m always trying to open my database of pictures. I have lots of hard disks and external hard drives which mainly collection of movies. Aside from this, it takes a bit longer to load the huge collection of photos. And then right after I found them, I look at them thoroughly. I learn to appreciate and love more the things that interest me. Sometimes there are photos that brought tears to my eyes, sometimes it’s sad, and yet beautiful. Oh, how I miss taking photographs?

Pot marigold, also known by its scientific name Calendula officinalis. When I first heard about the name Pot Marigold, I thought that they are plants that are commonly grown in pots. But the name actually came from one of their many uses in food. This edible flower was called a “pot herb” and was tossed into the stew or vegetable pot.

I also heard that when special someone gave you Marigold, it symbolizes their everlasting love to you. I love the color of the Marigold while in fact they bloom all year round.

Pot Marigold or Calendula has been used traditionally for abdominal cramps, constipation, helps regulate the menstrual cycle. Pot marigold is used as an skin healer (including mild burns as well as sunburn), antiseptic, cleanser, and detoxifier. It also has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

I love this beautiful, exotic fuchsia flower with striking two-tone colors. Fuchsia flowers shape is quite unusual and they are really delicate. I usually see them anywhere in the garden but it’s best if they were hang in a baskets on the patio. Fuchsias are also popular garden shrubs, and once planted can live for years with a minimal amount of care.

Fuchsia is often misspelled as fuschia in English. That’s why there’s a mini fun story about it that if someone will ask you to spell Fuchsia, you will immediately say “I’d rather spell Red because it’s too short” But the truth is you are a bit confused with the correct spelling of Fuchsia.
