Calendula officinalis
Herbaceous annual with hairy stems and leaves giving it a grayish green color. Inflorescence are heads making it part of the aster family. Flower color ranges from cream through bright yellows and oranges.
I found these in pots at the edge of the Gentleman's Garden at Colonial Williamsburg, VA.
These happen to be one of my favorite flowers. I love their sunny flowers and great smell.
