Blooms in Winter to Spring. A friend once met a master of fragrant marigold. He heard that it is medicinal and can make tea, so he made it, but since then he has been hesitant to drink it again. Why? It was because the fragrance was too strong and I couldn’t accept it. Until one day, this friend drank a cup of very fragrant and refreshing tea, which was really unusual. In the end, he didn’t guess that it was a marigold flower. My friend thought: How could it be a marigold? This is too fragrant and delicious! Finally she understood.
