What is the flower language of marigold?

The flower language of marigold is health, because it is a plant with strong vitality and can adapt to any kind of soil. There is another anecdote about the origin of marigold:

About 500 years ago, a Spanish officer went to Mexico and occasionally found wild flowers of marigold in the suburbs. He thought it was cute and took the seeds back to Europe. At that time, many people saw that it was full of golden flowers, so it was used to worship the statue of the Virgin Mary.

Later, in the middle of16th century, it first spread to southern China. People didn't know its name at that time. Because its flowers and leaves have a bad smell, they have to call it "Petiole Chrysanthemum" casually.

It is said that since then, there has been a county adult's sixtieth birthday. In order to add atmosphere, the housekeeper placed two rows of potted flowers at the gate. The magistrate was overjoyed and asked, "What kind of flower is this?" The housekeeper replied, "Petals stink of chrysanthemums".

Who knows that the county adults misunderstood and said, "Ah, it's marigold, good, good!" " "The housekeeper quickly complimented:" Yes, yes, I wish the master a long life. "Since then, the name of marigold has spread like wildfire.
