Captured in a rustic garden at Downey Park.
Cosmos are herbaceous perennial plants or annual plants growing 0.3–2 m (1 ft 0 in–6 ft 7 in) tall. The leaves are simple, pinnate, or bipinnate, and arranged in opposite pairs. The flowers are produced in a capitulum with a ring of broad ray florets and a center of disc florets; flower color is very variable between the different species. The genus includes several ornamental plants popular in gardens. Numerous hybrids and cultivars have been selected and named.

This cosmos flower will soon be harvested by a customer at Wright-Locke Farm's U-pick field. There are also zinnias, pincushions snapdragons, etc.

From the archives. Can't wait to grow these beauties again this year. Saw a few signs of Spring today!
I planted this Cosmos plant in my garden and it has come up with different shades of pink and white flowers- I love the colour mix.
花弁が融合して，カップ状に咲くコスモス（ 半八重や、一重の両方あります） カップケーキを焼く時のライナーのように見えます。
Instead of having separate petals like most cosmos, all petals are fused into one single cup.
From your friendly Swallowtail Garden Seeds catalog photographer. We hope you will enjoy our collection of botanical photographs and illustrations as much as we do.
I love both of them!
The petals of this cosmos bloom are white in reality. It changed by experimenting with white balance.
The Witch Head Nebula (also known as IC 2118) is a faint, eerie-looking reflection nebula in the constellation Eridanus, near the bright star Rigel in the neighbouring constellation Orion. Its name comes from its resemblance to the profile of a witch's face, complete with a hooked nose and chin.
This rendition is a little different. The image scale of my instrument does not allow the entire Witch head to be seen, only the chin and nose are in the frame. I have also flipped the traditional orientation, which is upside down in the version. I think it works in this orientation, the highlighting at the top is my favourite part.
Here are some key features:
Composition: The nebula is made up of interstellar dust and gas that reflects the light of nearby stars, primarily Rigel. This scattered light gives the nebula its characteristic bluish colour, enhanced by the dust particles, which scatter blue light more efficiently than red.
Location and Size: It lies approximately 900 to 1,000 light-years from Earth and spans about 50 light-years, making it a large structure in the sky.
Illumination: The bright light from Rigel is the primary source of illumination, but other nearby stars also contribute. The nebula's reflection effect is similar to how Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight.
Appearance: Its spooky, ghostly shape and faint glow make it a striking subject for astrophotographers and astronomers.
Astronomical Interest: The nebula's dusty regions are of interest for studying the processes of star formation and the interaction of starlight with interstellar matter.
The Witch Head Nebula is a fascinating example of how simple interstellar materials can create striking, familiar shapes in the cosmos when viewed from Earth.
