Question about Marigold Africa

I collect seeds from my marigolds every year and they always bloom the same as the flower from which I collected them. I have small, bright yellow ones and the small bronzy ones.

My marigold seeds always come true also.I usually start a tray of yellow and a tray of orange every year.

Ah,Iris, “small” being the catch word. The Africa Inca Yellow I ordered from Vesey Seeds are huge – you know, for marigolds. I also ordered a typle called Mr. Majestic which is bronze and yellow. Although I’m saving the seeds from both, I’ll be willing to bet that next year they’ll just come up as ordinary little marigolds.

I guess I’ll have to wait and see.
