Some mold. Update: And dirt and rocks.
I received some moldy flowers in with my 1 lb bag. It also smelled like it had been sealed damp, which I noticed upon opening.
For reference, in case you'd like to check and see if you got the same lot# 59281. Starwest Botanicals, Item# 209180-01, Calendula Flowers Organic, Calendula Officinalis, Origin:Egypt, Kosher certified by Kosher Certification Services. I really like other products from this brand and this is a rare fail from my experience buying Starwest Botanicals products. I do place a lot of stock in the Amazon review system, so I took the time to write one.
Update 3/6/16: I also found a couple of small 1/2 cm sized pebbles and a nickel sized chunk of what looks like dirt in with the calendula. The price has also nearly doubled in price since I purchased it 9/2015.
$10.84 (Price I paid in Sept 2015, included Prime 2 day shipping)
$20.83 (Current price 3/6/16, includes Prime 2 day shipping)
