I just got back from celebrating my birthday and día de los muertos in Sayulita, Mexico. My friends and I built altars, joined the procession to the cemetery in Sayulita, and spent the last day of our trip doing a closing ceremony and singing to each other in a pool full of marigolds. I’ll never forget that experience and the way the bright colors and vibrant scent of the flowers held us.
What an incredible way to celebrate both your birthday (happy belated!) and Día de los Muertos. That pool filled with marigolds and the procession in Sayulita sound so powerful—thank you for sharing. I’ve experienced Día de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, with altars and marigolds, but I’d love to see it in Mexico someday too. 🧡
I have developed a love for marigolds in recent years. There are so many beautiful varieties and they give you copious amounts of seeds for the next season.
This is a great curation! I love marigolds, and grow a lot of them in summer. I love to dye with them! They make such a rich hue that can be really varied. I love the way you’ve included the plant lore as well. 🧡
beautiful! i work with marigolds in my own art practice and love them as a medium. love to be a medium for them and see what other folks are creating in their magic. weeee. thank you!
