POT MARIGOLD - (Calendula Officinalis) It belongs to the Asteraceae family & is native to Europe, North Africa & the Middle East. For some, its name seems to derive from the calendae of the ancient Romans, referring to the fact that it blooms once a month throughout the summer. Its stem is covered with hair with light green lanceolate leaves, also with hairs on the surface while the flowers are yellow or orange: the flowering period is from summer to mid-autumn. This plant has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic & refreshing properties & for this reason it is used to produce preparations for external, topical or personal hygiene use.
