It emerged directly from the earth with a long stemAnd I kissed it and touched its dampness to my eyesAgain, I think it was a marigold of thousand petalsWith a characteristic rich fragranceAnd it asked me to remember itAnd I remembered as best as I could.   A Flower To Auroville Mother-46 Poem by Indira Renganathan Marigold (Tagetes erecta) Yellow and orange and brightUpdated yearly to new sightO'Marigold, merry merry goldVery very good so you upholdHow well you herd your floretsHow well support pinnated leavesSomewhere to wed somewhere to raiseGarlanded your glory to surpriseOverwhelmed when so much flashedStill more as your curative splashedO'Marigold, merry merry goldVery very good so you uphold Arctander The essential oil is yellowish amber colored and mobile when freshly distilled but soon oxidizes and resinifies and becomes very viscous when exposed to air and moisture. Older oils are viscous, dark amber or brownish colored, and lack the typical fruity topnote. Fresh oils are characterized by a very powerful fruity top-note, reminiscent of green apples. The body notes are strongly herbaceous, somewhat sharp, like the non-floral part of the lavender fragrance.
