From a single plant to nearly 10 million in seven years: the cempasúchil, the golden Mexican marigold of Day of the Dead, grown on Mexico City's protected conservation land, now provides a livelihood for 596 growers in Xochimilco and Tláhuac.
Buy it straight from the growers, no middlemen, on Paseo de la Reforma through November 2.
