I'm so happy to see these marigolds flower. When I came out here in the late spring, I planted a little packet of English wildflower seeds - I don't think, I hope, that they will be causing invasive havoc to the barren Eldorado landscape (hmmm - that was probably the argument used against introducing English house sparrows into Central Park in the C19th ...). Anyway ... this packet was one of the ones handed out at the end of my father's funeral, and so I wanted to give the contents a good chance. Although other seeds have certainly sprouted and grown, I'm not sure that anything else will actually flower whilst we're here - but it's really great that something so cheerful has.
