Orange French Marigolds

I've separated my marigold heads into three separate colours for the dye pot. This is what I obtained from the orange ones. From the left, mordanted with alum, copper, alum + tin and alum + iron. It never fails to enchant me to see the wide range of colours that can be obtained from one dye pot. Who says natural dyes are insipid and boring?
