Lemons Marigold Novels & Stories

The potpourri looked exquisite, and gave off a fresh scent. Melanie couldn’t help but stand on tip-toes, and took a whiff. “There are shrubby bush clover, yarrow, and some coral lilies?” The old woman’s eyes lit up as she spoke animatedly. The young girl interpreted what she said, “My mom said that you’re right. The dried white flowers are yarrow.” Melanie nodded. “There are also ivy morning glory, wild chrysanthemum, and stellera flower in it too, right?”

—I walk to the spot where the chrysanthemums bloom, bright and eye-catching—“these are the mums Mommy and Daddy planted for your Grandpa Terrence and Grandma Lauryn. And eventually there will be a lemon tree, but it’s too small to grow any fruit still.” She stares up at me, her gray eyes never once leaving my face to look at the garden. But she smiles and kicks her legs, and that’s good enough for me. “I know it’s so exciting! We’ll be able to make fresh squeezed lemonade, and lemon meringue pie, and lemon cookies!”

The north corner of the venue was decorated was decorated with Nemesia, while south corner was decorated with Saponaria, east corner with English Bluebell and the west where the ceremony was actually about to happen was decorated by Watsonia, the famous varieties of Bugle Lily. All these flowers were the favorites of Lexie, whose engagement ceremony was going to take place in some time. The kids were running from one corner to another as the venue also had a beautiful lawn where they could play. The women of the pack were getting envious of the fortune that Lexie had, while the men were sighing in regret that they couldn't even stand a chance to have her by their side even for once. The body

Anaztasia declared as she calmly drank a glass of punch. “If a lily can negate a black rose, then we can use the lily as a shield then. Am I right, Romaine?” Hemera asked, her firm gaze looking straight at Romaine. “You are right. But—“ “But what?” “That is the last lily here in Shamrock. We were lucky that Thalia had kept a single one of that flower…” Romaine responded sorrowfully. “That flower that we just drank is not just an ordinary lily of the valley. It is one of the Mighty Five.”

LILA Evening spread across the Packhouse in wide strokes of silver and blue. The air cooled, I stayed in the garden with Mara, the ground beneath us soft from the day’s work. The moon climbed slow over the ridge, pale and full, washing the rows in light that turned every leaf into glass. The crescent beds glimmered as if carved from frost. I knelt beside the central circle with the last pouch of seeds and loosened the drawstring. “These open only under moonlight,” I said, holding out the small white kernels. “Moonwort and night jasmine. They bloom when others sleep.”

Although both the dresses she picked out for me were disliked by my mind and heart, The dull color grey, reminded me of the gloomy sky and my sad face. "Can I at least try the pink one I really don't like the colour" She pursed her lips grabbing the pink dress and handing it to me. I wore it and I felt somewhat better. "I don't like it. The grey one is better" I frown. "But mom" She showed me her angry face. "It's not your wedding Lilyan, We are getting the grey one" I clenched my jaw as she grabbed the grey and headed to the counter as I stood there.

While our herb collection was impressive by most pack standards, the Alpha’s garden married both form and function. The centerpiece was a large water installation, a fountain surrounded by nodding, bell-shaped flowers in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red. I stepped closer, unable to resist the pull of their vibrant beauty. “Lilium canadense,” I murmured. “Canada lily.” I picked a sprig of the blooms, holding them in my hand. Feeling a surge of confidence, I turned back to Draven. “These are symbols of strength, commitment, and new beginnings,” I said, carefully tucking the stem inside Draven’s vest pocket.

Chapter 68 Aurora Who says marigolds aren't beautiful? Staring at the Colossus Red Gold type of marigold flower before me, I couldn't help but get lost in its rare beauty. The deep burgundy petals gilded with gold were enough for me to fall in love with it and brighten my full mood. Perfect! I couldn't take my eyes off the beauty right in front of me. Overtaken by pregnancy hormones, tears welled up in my eyes but I was quick to blink it back.

"Beauty without strength is just a pretty corpse." Amara had planted these roses herself—Mama’s favorite, "Souvenir de la Malmaison"—digging holes while tears blurred the soil. For you, she’d thought, pressing seeds into the earth. So something of you stays. Then one night after she was gone. Amara had stayed late, tracing the roses’ velvety petals as stars blinked awake. The scent was overwhelming—lemon, earth, bittersweet promise—when Selene’s voice cut through the dark:

I pick a petal from the flower, crushed it inside the bowl and mixed it until it was almost refined. "Wait, aren't those like.....deadly?" Isaac asks, upon seeing the flower on the table and what I've crushed into the bowl. "Could be" I shrugged as if it didn't matter, casting a glance at Collin who was still there just glaring at me. Lilium 'Stargazer' is a hybrid lily, it's not necessarily dangerous to humans. I have used it many times to make tea, and it is one of my favorite of the said plant family. It's scent is sweet and calming, I mostly grow these types, along with Madonna lily, my two favorites.
