Is This An Orange Floral Daisy, Marigold or Calendula Design?

In the image, the title question is posed in black script, surrounded by an intricate watercolour floral border.
Orange Floral Daisies, Marigolds or Calendula Flower Border

Hello there.

And yes, this week's art is all there in the title. This design is based upon bright orange (and sometimes white) flowers I remember my Mum growing at home when I was little.

Watercolouring and sketching them was calming, peaceful, and instantly brought back all the warmth and possibility of being a small child in a garden.

I remembered most of these flowers, at least, as having been marigolds.

But "No", said the internet. "They're probably calendula," "Or maybe just orange daisies..."

Whatever they are, the feeling remains the same.

And if you fancy doing something else with them other than asking this question, you can find your very own blank orange floral border, at full A4 size, in my Craftsuprint shop.

Hope all's well with you, and thank you so much, as ever, for being here.

More soon.
