In the 16th century, marigold was a common garden plant valued by herbalists for comforting the heart and soothing the spirit. The dried flowers went into the making of broths and teas, and were used to color cheese. It was known to the Romans, Greeks, ancient Egyptians, Arabs and Hindus. The generic name derives from the Latin calends  meaning “throughout the months,” a reference to the lengthy flowering season of the marigold. It was used in wedding bouquets because it represents constant love in flower symbolism.
