...... next spring ,with one of her grand children with her,she looked outside the window and she almost fainted at the sight that befell her.With the supp;rt of her walking stick she staggered out with her grandchild and she saw a PURE WHITE MARIGOLD amidst all the faint yellow flowers. No spots,no wrinkles, no yellow strand ,it was pure white.
She gathered the seeds of the flower and she sent them for tests which proved that she was the first person in the world to grow white marigolds.She eventually won thousands of dollars and she had the largest marigold garden in the world.

A MESSAGE OF HOPE
I read the story of how white marigold flowers were originated recently and i learn t a message in perseverance.Below is the story of WALDO EMERSON
Emerson read in the dailies that there was needed urgently white marigold flowers from which other colors could be combined easily.At that time there were only blue, yellow and pink colors of the flower.Waldo heard this and gathered all the faintest yellow seeds of marigold she could get and she planted them. Her kids laughed at her diligence and her husband to joined them.Year in and year out when it was summer she collected the seeds of the faintest yellow flower she could get and she planted them in preparation for spring.
Year in year out,she continued gathering seeds and replanting,the yellow flowers grew fainter and fainter but there was no pure white marigold flower in her little cottage garden.Her husband grew old and died, her children married and she was left alone with a maid, yet the yellow flowers just grew fainter and fainter but there was no white marigold.Many times she was discouraged and felt like giving up but she decided to keep on trying and she reasoned rightly that since she had been on it for so long she would keep on trying till death so she gathered seeds of the faintest yellow flower and she planted them amidst the other thousands of marigold flowers...........
