Calendula officinalis aka Calendula

Calendula officinalis, also known as the pot marigold, common marigold, ruddles, Mary's gold, or Scotch marigold, is a flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. Its exact origin is uncertain, as it has a long history of cultivation and may have originated from southern Europe or be of garden origin. This hardy annual variety produces bi-colour blooms ranging from gold to pale orange, which contrast beautifully against its dark green foliage. While it is often grown as an annual flower, Calendula officinalis is a short-lived perennial in warmer climates. It is not to be confused with the common marigold (Tagetes spp.), but both belong to the Asteracea family and share a daisy-like appearance. The plant's Latin specific epithet, officinalis, refers to its medicinal and herbal uses. The name "pot marigold" originates from the gold flowers traditionally used in cooking during the festivals of the Virgin Mary, combining the names "Mary" and "gold" to form "marigold."
