Cosmos, planted in the Mansfield Garden, Hamilton Gardens, NZ. Image: Su Leslie 2018
Much too windy here to enjoy a walk, I’m taking vicarious pleasure in the the flowers I photographed at Hamilton Gardens recently.

The Cosmos are lovely flowers in a garden as they quite elegantly when there is a soft breeze. My favourites are the white ones.

Love Cosmos, but I need to buy the dwarf varieties for my windy garden! I grew some lovely white ones last year but they grew very tall and sadly got broken in the wind in the autumn. Still, I had my money’s worth from them. A nice soft focus here Su.

Just enjoying the color and beauty as there’s little of that outside here (or at least of that type.) 🙂
