We're heading into September with some of the highest temperatures we've had all Summer. These luminous and delicate orange cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus) seem to love the heat, though, as they sway in the rising waves.

It's been so many years since I first saw a sulfur cosmos in Sequoia NP that, while I remember taking this and several other shots of this lone flower, what I can't remember is why I never posted it. I found this in 2009, my first year of concentrating on wildflowers.
Well, it doesn't really matter, does it. I should have told you about Hale Tharp, the first non-native American brought to the sequoias by the Yukut guides in 1858. Deciding to live in the forest, Tharp made a home of a fallen 55 foot sequoia tree that he hollowed out. His "home" is still there and can be visited. It was within 50 yards of his home that I found a Cosmos sulphureus and, as stunning as the flower was, I was really taken by the story of Tharp.
Now you you know something of him - and do see his home if your go to Sequoia NP - it's time to tell you just a little about the flower. There isn't that much to tell.
Cosmos sulphureus is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower family Asteraceae, also known as sulfur cosmos and yellow cosmos. It is native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America, and naturalized in other parts of North and South America. This plant was declared invasive by the United States Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council in 1996. (Well, of course it was. Why are so many flowers of which I've seen a few "always" deemed pests or invasive. They don't have that designation for people.) The flowers of all Cosmos attract birds and butterflies, including the monarch butterfly.
