Marigolds are small plants suitable for borders and low plantings. They are natural pest repellents which is the reason that our grandparents were so fond of them.
Carnations are similar in appearance but come in a much wider color variation. They also are not pest repellent, but tend to grow much taller and spread. Their average height is about three feet when in the bush, whereas the marigold seldom gets above 6-8 inches tall.
There are two types of generic carnation bushes. One grows the standard size carnation which is about 3-4 inches across. The miniature variety is a multiple flower stem, and is usually about one inch across.
The marigold is quite similar in appearance to the miniature carnation, but only grows in the yellow-orange family. The carnation comes in any color of the rainbow, pink, red, yellow, green, white, and variegated.
if i am correct the marigold has yellow flowers and has "mar" in its name.
Marigold flowers are often not preferred by predators due to their strong scent and bitter taste. However, some animals like rabbits, deer, and certain insects may eat marigold flowers if there is no other food available.

The number of flowers produced by a single marigold plant can vary significantly depending on the plant's variety, growing conditions, and care. Generally, a healthy marigold plant can produce anywhere from 20 to over 100 blooms throughout its growing season. Some varieties, like the African marigold, tend to produce larger flowers but may have fewer blooms compared to smaller varieties. Regular deadheading and optimal care can help maximize flower production.
Carnation flowers have a slightly spicy, peppery flavor with subtle floral notes. The taste can vary depending on the color and variety of the flower, but generally, they are edible and can be used as a decorative, flavorful addition to dishes. However, be sure to consume them in moderation, as some people may have allergic reactions to certain types of flowers.
The biggest difference between mums and carnations is that carnations smell sweet and spicy, a little like cloves. Chrysanthemums do not have a pleasant smell. Chrysanthemums are fall flowers and carnations are summer flowers.
