They are indeed the same family, (even the caterpillar looking seeds are similar), but the Arvensis is a wild flower and quite small, growing low to the ground.Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-81009374796844588692010-01-18T15:39:09.952-08:002010-01-18T15:39:09.952-08:00Calendula Officinalis is also nicknamed Russian pe...Calendula Officinalis is also nicknamed Russian penicillin as it has so many medicinal uses. Made into an infusion it can help throat infections, mouth ulcers and oral thrush. It is also used in creams, tinctures etc but they are rather difficult to make at home. It can also be used as a poultice for wounds as it has cicatrizant and styptic qualities. I haven't found any reference to 'arvensis' in any of my own books however,is it a native of America?Wartime Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13337425530017564079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-63271903813192245492010-01-18T13:45:14.727-08:002010-01-18T13:45:14.727-08:00simple is as simple doessimple is as simple doesThudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320037763190473684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-34614839335368127382010-01-17T19:41:43.896-08:002010-01-17T19:41:43.896-08:00Thank you Mr. Affer, that was very kind of you.
