Bloom Day May #4: Tagetes

This is the Tagetes lemonii of Dia de Los Muertos fame: it blooms every year spectacularly at turn of the year that straddles Oct/Nov. But it also blooms for May Day, six months later (or earlier, depending on your point of view). Here is a view of its wonderful yellow-ness looking up into the sun from the perspective of this syrphid fly perched on a leaf below the bloom; possibly laying eggs.
