Sorry to disagree, but they're not African marigolds, they're French marigolds, Tagetes patula - which particular variety though, I'm not sure. Unless, that is, your plants are taller than they look - if they're up to 18 inches, they're Afro-French marigolds, single group! Complicated, ain't it! Save the seeds if you want more next year - not sure if they come true, but they might.

Actually....think you'r right Bamboo, they do not appear to be as tall as I thought at first.....of course.....we could BOTH be right:)))))....LOL

They are not very tall Bamboo and Amblealice 'French marigolds' seem to ring a bell now- I have had a look for some pictures on google but can't find any that look like these. Thanks for your replies anyway I'll keep on looking.

Mystery solved they are french marigolds 'Naughty Marietta' I found them looking through pictures of french marigolds on the thompson and morgan web site. Thanks all for the help - I might have guessed it had to be something naughty!

Naughty but nice...:)))).....actually I don't particularly like French or African marigolds {blush}..........

That's OK Amblealice its good that we don't all like the same things - there would be many shortages then!
