My fingers are tacky before I finish the first plant. That's the resin, and it is the whole reason this variety exists. Resina was bred by herbalist farmers who chased one trait, stickiness. The good stuff sits right under the flower head, which is why an oil infusion pulls more out of it than a tea ever will. Most calendula gets grown to look pretty. This one got grown to work. Now I need to decide what to make with it. Drop your favorite calendula recipe in the comments, salve, tonic, oil, soap, whatever you swear by. Most liked comment wins and I will make it on camera.
