The common English and scientific name for calendula comes from the Latin "calends", the first of the month in the ancient Roman calendar. Romans viewed calendula as a flower of joy and used in rituals, but this wasn't the only culture where this yellow bloom was beloved. Calendula was often seen adorning Hindu deities and used in ancient Chinese medicine. Calendula has close associations with remembering the dead: offerings of calendula are made on the Day of the Dead in Central America.
