Cosmos • Ordered Universe

© All Rights Reserved

———————————

Cosmos, a self-seeding annual adapts easily to hot, dry locations and does well in poor soil. There are over 20 known species of this flower family 'Compositae'.

 

Spanish priests grew cosmos in their mission gardens in Mexico. The evenly placed petals led them to christen the flower "Cosmos," the Greek word for harmony or ordered universe.
