Okay, who am I kidding? I won't thin them until they approach Audrey-like proportions and attempt to swallow a neighborhood child.
2009 Flower Pr0n, Part III
Sunday, May 17, 2009
I love marigolds. There's just something about their bright colors and full blooms that makes me happy. And the yellow iris' on the south side of the house are a bit out of control this year - I may have to thin them in the fall.

I've always loved marigolds too, cheerful little bursts of color. They not only reseed themselves if you let them, they also work as a natural bug repellent if planted with your tomato plants!
And your iris patch is amazing. I miss having a flower bed, some varieties just don't adapt well for balcony/apartment living or container gardening. Although I did manage to turn out a 5' tall coleus a few years ago that was quite spectaculur and took over half the balcony it was on!

I love marigolds too for the same reasons Wendy noted. They bright and beautiful and require little to no maintenance. :)

I don't like marigolds. Can't stand the smell of 'em.
But your irises are lovely!
