Name: Cosmos sulphureus

Family: Asteraceae

Common Name: Cosmos

Looks similar to the orange Zinnia, but has feathery foliage

Various sources say cosmos means "beauty/beautiful" or "harmony" or "ordered universe" but the Greek dictionary doesn't bear any of these interpretations out.

"Sulphureus" refers to the color "pale yellow" (like sulphur). Which this flower obviously is not! But there are others in this species that are yellow.
