The flashback story time for marigolds is about two weeks. This is how long it takes the plant to mature its flowers.
Who is tellinv the story? During what time in her life is this story taking place?

a flashback
By using flashback, the author takes us from an adult perspective looking back to a time when a life lesson needed to be learned about how we treat people. We all learn life lessons as we grow and change as part of our passage from child to adult. Life lessons teach us about ourselves and our connection to others in the real world. I imagine the author's purpose in using this technique was to bring out this point thereby enhancing the story.
This is one form of a "flashback."

It isn't used in a well-written story! A flashback is a technique to tell something that happened before the story started, but there are better ways of doing it. A better technique is to sprinkle bits of exposition into the action of the story so that the reader ends up with the right information without disrupting the story with a flashback.
In a flashback of a story, a part of the past is shown to better explain is going on in the present.
Flashback. This literary technique is used to provide background information or context to the story by transporting the reader back to a previous event or time period.
The summer time is the best to plant marigolds. :)
