EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print, dated 1791, showcases the enchanting beauty of Tagetes Patula, commonly known as French Marigolds or Spreading Marigolds. The vibrant image captures the essence of this beloved flower, which has graced gardens and bouquets for centuries. Tagetes Patula is a popular variety of marigold, native to Mexico and Central America. The plant is characterized by its bushy growth habit and abundant, brightly colored blooms. The flowers come in a range of hues, including deep red, scarlet, orange, and golden yellow. In this print, the rich, velvety red hue of the blossoms stands out against the lush, verdant foliage. The botanical name Tagetes Patula is derived from the Latin words "taget," meaning marigold, and "patula," meaning spreading. This refers to the plant's spreading growth habit, which makes it an excellent choice for filling in gaps in flower beds or borders. Marigolds have a rich history, dating back to ancient Mexico, where they were cultivated for their medicinal and ornamental properties. They were also believed to have spiritual significance and were used in religious ceremonies. Today, they continue to be popular in gardens and as cut flowers, adding a splash of color and charm to any setting. This stunning print, produced in 1791, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty and allure of Tagetes Patula. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of these beloved flowers and the joy they bring to gardens and bouquets around the world.
