It is the season for those beautiful little Crab Spiders to hide in flowers and forest sunflowers.
These were found in my cosmos garden.

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.

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.
Cosmos bipinnatus, a genus of annuals and perennials. I always remember them along the road and railway lines in early April. Mostly pinks and whites and then this darker purple one on rare occasions. The word in Greek kosmos meaning Beautiful. A new flickr follower asked me yesterday if I photoshop my images. I don't and never have, the occasional crop on the Sony Xperia images I do admit to though. Thanks for your visits and comments.

Cosmos is native to scrub and meadowland in Mexico where most of the species occur, as well as the United States, as far north as the Olympic Pennsula in Washington, Central America, and to South America as far south as Paraguay. One species, C. bipinnatus, is naturalized across much of the eastern United States and eastern Canada. It is also widespread over the high eastern plains of South Africa, where it was introduced via contaminated horsefeed imported from Argentina during the Anglo-Boer War.
Cosmos: It originates from the Greek term κόσμος meaning "order" and is antithetical to the concept of chaos
