Marigold Seeds

 I rode my bike on the Marion Tallgrass Trail yesterday.  At each intersection along the trail, there were flowerbeds in the center of the trail, instead of the traditional bollards which warn riders of an intersection. 

At the trailhead, there were some really beautiful marigolds of three different varieties. Or perhaps one variety with three different appearances.   I collected a couple of dried blossoms with the seeds.  I'm afraid I lost some when I took my phone out of the case, but I have  put the rest in an envelope for planting next spring.  I hope that some are viable!  Perhaps they will hybridize and I will get something completely new.
