This is mainly because marigolds often serve as decorations for household altars and graves during the Day of the Dead in Latin America. Other cultures have adopted the neon orange and yellow hued marigolds for remembrance, representing the rising sun, sunrays or brightly-lit pathways to guide their dearly departed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Blog-images-horizontal-Word-Press-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10908\" style=\"width:768px;height:512px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header3\">Fast facts about cosmos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prolific bloomers, cosmos belong to the Asteraceae family and are native to Mexico, however they can be found throughout the world especially in the US and Latin America<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cosmos colors include: Golden yellow, white, pink, magenta, orange, yellow, red, chocolate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The name cosmos is derived from Greek meaning order and harmony<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Related to that, Spanish priests in Mexico cultivated cosmos in their mission gardens because of its evenly balanced\u00a0petals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding to its perfect symmetry, it also produces regularly doubled leaves and stems. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cosmos have a central disk with petals surrounding it, which is why they\u2019re also sometimes called basket flowers, pompons or spider daises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header4\">What does cosmos symbolize?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to their orderly nature, they symbolize harmony, joy, balance and serenity. Their many attractive colors and delightful aroma also convey wholeness and peace. Chocolate-colored cosmos flowers specifically say, \u201cI love you more than anyone ever could.\u201d That\u2019s pretty intense so save that for someone extra special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the association with peace, October birth babies are typically steadfast, even-tempered and stay cool as a cucumber no matter what\u2019s going on around them.
