Bright orange marigolds are ablaze each November 1 and 2 in Mexico as the Day of the Dead is celebrated and the lives of our loved ones are remembered, called back, and honored. The color challenge for November is Citrus Sinensis and marigolds certainly fit that challenge.
Alters are set up in cemeteries, on city streets, in homes, and in businesses with pictures of loved family members and friends, favorite foods and drinks of the deceased, and family members sitting sometimes quietly, sometimes singing, sometimes laughing, and sometimes crying.
Here is a selection of pictures showing how Marigolds are used to celebrate this annual remembrance.

Beautiful! In India, we use Marigolds a lot for decking up our temples, wedding venues, garlands for several occasions. I used to think that these flowers probably are that famous only in India but seeing your post prompted me to look for more information and I found this article https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/blogs/onmyplate/marigold-the-mexican-flower-that-has-become-a-part-of-indian-festivals/
