    monster marigold or something else??? ~~UPDATE ! It bloomed !!! ~~

    Hey, no don't have a clue where in the world it came from. I had planted some marigolds there from seeds I saved from last year. It's close to the chicken coop,high traffic area.Guess the ground there is very fertile. I had run a soaker hose & it got alot of water.
