Correct! Speaking as a flower farmer, this "calendula" does not exist...actually looks more like a marigold with a blue filter applied, if we really want to be geeks about it (which of course I do). I actually *do* own and love a few Christy Dawns because whimsical, timeless, floral prints are my kryptonite, but this marketing approach is a step too far.
Cathartic snark is one of my favorite things
Pretty sure calendula is orange, white, or yellow...? What is this magical blue one they speak of?

oh to be clear, i love me some whimsical floral prints! i just can't resist the marketing fun! and hell yes to geeking out about the flowers.
I don't want to wear my medicine. I want to wear my poisons so my enemies will look at me and tremble. Give me a belladonna print dress, you cowards.
Best post of all time. Honoring mother earth with a print from synthetic dyes that are one of the biggest sources of water pollution.
Whimsical was becoming a word I've been liking lately. But this might've ruined it for me.
oh no! don't let them take away whimsy!
You're right. It can stay — as long as it's not coated with absurd BS
