Good mornevening, Yuming !🌅🌃 Yesterday was the Harvest Moon, and the flower in this picture is also round and yellow just like the moon. 🌕💛🌿😄👌 As you are described in this comment text, African marigolds are larger than regular marigolds. They bloom into big, voluminous flowers that look like round pom-poms.📣🤸💛🌿 When I see marigolds, I always remember Aimyon's song "Marigold"🎶🎤👩🤗 Marigolds came to be called "Mary's gold" because they were dedicated to the Virgin Mary and used to decorate church altars in the Middle Ages.⛪️👰♀️🙏💛🌿 Nice to talk to Yuming today. Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
