Behold a magnificent solitary bloom of Tagetes erecta, commonly known as an African Marigold, showcasing a captivating blend of deep burgundy and fiery orange. The multi-layered petals, tightly packed and somewhat ruffled, transition from a rich, almost blackish-red at the core to brighter, golden-orange edges, especially noticeable where light catches their delicate folds. The flower is still partially encased in its green calyx, which leads to a robust stem, suggesting a healthy and vigorous plant. The background is a soft, ethereal blur of greens and blues, creating a gentle contrast that allows the intricate details and intense colors of this single marigold to stand out with remarkable clarity. This bloom exemplifies the bold and cheerful disposition of the Tagetes genus.
