No, it has a flavor all it's own, the calendula is very subtle and sweet, almost a bit of honey. The common marigold (Tagetes) has a pungent, spicy scent that is closer to a cross between mint and tarragon.
My Amaryllis is white, but is in the dying stage to rest for winter. It had a ton of blooms this past year. That is a pretty orchid, too! I don't have any that color!
It's an Intergeneric, so I can't hazard a more precise identification. I indulged myself in buying it a week or so ago, in bud, and now it's revealing itself.
I had a pink Amaryllis that has finished, and the red is in full fling. Nice that they spaced themselves out like that.
Does marigold really impart a saffron flavor? Because I'm a freak for saffron and it's so expensive.

Nice. I companion plant marigolds, so I've used their flowers in salads. I had no idea one could dry it! Any particular trick to it?
no, air drying works well. A nice sunny day will do it if you pull the flower into it's component parts.
Marigolds also make excellent chicken feed suppliments.

That was nice of the Amaryllis!
