Calendula (Marigold) – Sunshine from a Cottage Garden
At KvětinyExpres.cz, Calendula is the ultimate symbol of summer warmth and vitality. Often associated with herbal remedies, this vibrant flower holds a prestigious spot in floral design. It brings instant cheer, a rustic charm, and intense hues ranging from lemon yellow to fiery orange to any arrangement.
Appearance and Character: Calendula is easily recognized by its dense, daisy-like flower heads and aromatic, slightly fuzzy foliage. A professional detail we often notice in our workshop is the slight stickiness of the stems—this is a natural sign of high essential oil content and peak freshness. It’s a flower that literally glows, capturing the energy of the sun in every petal.
Symbolism of Joy and Healing: In the language of flowers, Calendula represents joy, protection, and healing. This makes it the perfect gift to wish someone a speedy recovery or simply to brighten their day with a burst of natural energy.
Florist Andrea's Tip (Natural Style): "Calendula is the heart of every meadow bouquet I create. I love its unpretentious, 'cottage garden' feel. It pairs beautifully with blue accents like Eryngium or delicate chamomile. It’s essential for our summer bouquets and acts as a wonderful transition into autumn bouquets by complementing earthy tones. At KvětinyExpres.cz, we guarantee A1 quality—sourcing flowers at their peak bloom for maximum vase life."
✦ Floristry Use: A staple for mixed bouquets with a rustic vibe. If you enjoy DIY arranging, you can find them in our cut flowers by stem section; they are prized for their hardiness and vivid pigments.
