cosmos life cycle

I’d like to give a shout-out to the bird, or perhaps it was the wind, for planting the cosmos. These pink and yellow beauties are my new garden darling, the flower I didn’t know I loved. They were part of a mixed flower seed packet from last season. We had several flowers bloom over many months, but nothing as spectacular as this. Around the corner from their original home, a leafy green plant emerged. I let it grow along with the pumpkins and now this flowering lovely is taller than I am. I’m 5’10” so that is saying a lot.
