Ediacaran fossils at Mistaken Point whc.unesco.org/en/list/1497 Newfoundland, Canada. The front-like creature imprinted in this 565-million-year-old rock would have stood upright at the bottom of the ocean at the dawn of complex life, absorbing nutrients across its membrane. Strange, immobile life forms like the Cambrian explosion, when animals rapidly diversified and wiped all of them out

What is special about marigold flower?
The bloom itself symbolizes beauty, warmth, creativity, a drive to succeed, and celebration of the dead. 8. Speaking of “celebration of the dead,” marigolds are known as the flower of the dead in pre-Hispanic Mexico and is still regarded as an important symbol used during Day of the Dead festivities!
Generally, marigolds bloom from late spring until fall, so if you aren't seeing blooms during this time it's easy to assume that you should be. But keep in mind that not all species bloom for this long.J
