October's Flowers

 The Latin name of the Candlestick Flower, "Calendae", means "for months". It is a flower belonging to the Marigold family, and has gained value with its use in medicine and cuisine from history to date.

The same herb was known as "poor saffron" in the Middle Ages and was added to dishes to add flavor and color. Because the head of the candelabra often appears to be facing the sun, the flower is sometimes referred to as the "summer bride" or "farmer's face". Another name for the flower is pot marigold, because it is a frequently preferred flower in potted garden arrangements.

Ancient Christians would put candlestick flowers around the statues of the Virgin Mary and present the flower buds instead of coins. Another name for the wax flower thus became Mary's Gold.
