Flower meanings
Marigold: auspicious beginnings
In India the genda is the flower of every auspicious beginning: weddings, festivals, new homes, new ventures. Marigolds mean warmth, blessing and the courage of the sun.
What a marigold looks like
Ring after ring of small rounded petals in saturated orange, packed tight into a ball. It is the warmest colour in the set, and even a single bloom reads as a garland.
When people send marigolds
Diwali, weddings, new homes, new businesses, and any Indian celebration where genda is already part of the day. It is the flower of starting something.
