Marigold Is Also Called In India As Banti Pool

The elimination of all plants as they began blooming, bearing single, semi-double and strong-odored blooms began at once to be beneficial. The first Summer, at least, 60 percent of the plants were destroyed before the bees and insects had an opportunity to cross pollinize the best blooms with pollen from the inferior ones in the garden. Each year the operation was repeated so that during the first five years, the number of inferior plants was reduced to about 18 percent. The next five years, by actual counts, the per cent was lowered to 12, and the last five years not over five per cent have been inferior producing plants. This first season produced a large harvest of fine blooms. The very best ones in size and color, and those of artistic form that stood erect on strong long stems, were saved for seed. They were bunched as to color and hung up to be thoroughly dried before the seed was taken. The color range following all the original varieties, from a very light, pale yellow, through gold to a very deep orange, has been maintained and their brilliancy intensified. While intensely full, or complex, the blooms are unexcelled in artistic beauty.

The selection of best seed plants, year after year, has produced outstanding qualities of color, odor, general size of blooms, the length and strength of stems and large strong plants. These features began to manifest themselves in a small way from the very start. They have increased in degree throughout the whole trial. It can endure in harsh weather, soil and water conditions and barely need tending unlike other flowering species. These strong features allow the flower to occur more commonly in many Indian gardens, homes, and along the road. The flowers are also broadly used in several cultural, traditional, and religious ceremonies in India. It is rarely absent in the midst of any celebration. Its prominent form and color gives a bright merriment and jovial ambiance to the dreary parts of weddings, housewarming, and poojas. The flower can be found pitted alongside oriental lilies and carnations in any floral ornament.

Marigold is more usually called in India as Banti Pool. The striking edge of this beautiful flower is the burst of color glowing for the bunch of petals. A single flower is enough to add outstanding color to any floral centerpiece. However, marigold is not as fragrant or as sweet-smelling compared to other flowers but its distinct smell is helpful in keeping pests and insects away from the table or any arrangement. The leaves can be inserted or just be placed next to the flowers. In whatever way, it would still look good. Two shades of marigold flowers can be used but a single shade would always look better. Marigold may be considered as a meager man's flower but would still appear classy and elegant in any elite occasion. Although there are a few types of moths which do have larva that will eat them, for the most part bugs tend to stay away from marigolds. This indicates that Marigolds are able to be grown immediately next to the other plants which grow in your flowerbed that you wish for bugs to keep away from. They are also said to keep rabbits and deer away from other flora.
