Marigolds

I put in some marigolds yesterday.  I don't see marigolds much in high-end gardens.  I guess they are considered pedestrian for most serious gardeners, but i think they deserve a little more respect.  I have such happy memories of my Dad planting marigolds in our backyard when I was young.  They are such happy sunny little flowers that don't seem to take themselves too seriously.  They now welcome visitors in the bed up near our front door, and I know i can count on them to provide color all summer long.
Coreopsis now blooming up there too.
