Marigold, baby's breath, cockscomb or coxcomb Explanation: Cempasuchitl is a Nahuatl (language of the Aztecs) word for a variety of marigold having a special association with the Day of the Dead (Oct 31). It is used only in Mexico. If you translate it, it would lose its impact. I would leave it as is. Alvin Reference: http://www.proz.com/ks.php3?pair=sp_en&hid=21367&level=easy |
