Cosmos is a genus, with the same common name of cosmos, consisting of flowering plants in the sunflower family. Cosmos are herbaceous perennial plants or annual plants growing 0.3–2 m 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 species are native to scrub and meadowland in Mexico where most of the species occur, the United States, as far north as the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, Central America, and to South America as far south as Paraguay. 10384

Despite last year being one of the driest summers on record, these flowers were a great show!

I have planted some new varieties for this year.

I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out?
