Despair(The Marigold, Calendula, has always been associated with the sun's journey across the sky, from nine in the morning until three in the afternoon. The Victorians believed they could set the clock by the hour the marigold opened and closed its colourful petals. Calendula is the name of the genus because it flowers all round the calendar year, and the name Marigold probably means Mary-gold after the Virgin Mary. In some parts they are also known as Mary-bud and Mary-gold. Lots of children have been reminded of a button when looking at the big, round flower, and so have called them Bachelor's Buttons, a name they share with several other members of the daisy familyThe Marigold signifies Grief, it is believed, because the flower daily mourns the departure of the sun when its petals are forced to close.)
