Aah – a white one !
I have a pot on my balcony that contains 1 tallish cosmos and 1 smallish cosmos and a lot a weeds. I plan to re-pot them both in a big planter; so that when they’ve flowered the seeds will be all over it. I LOVE the way cosmos seed themselves so generously ! 😀

I’m hoping for lots of self-seeding. I thought I’d only bought white ones, specifically for my wee garden (will organise a photo for you), but some rogue magenta have snuck in and I rather like them.

My dear, it is IM-POSSIBLE not to like any cosmos upon which one’s eye falls !
Well, that’s my feelin, anyway .. 😀

I do love them. It’s just that I thought I’d be all grown up and gardener-ly and have a colour co-ordinated flower patch 😂

We-ell .. speaking personally, I much prefer a wilderness garden. Mais chacune son goût. 🙂

I really must take that photo for you. My attempt at “posh” i.e. colour-co-ordinated probably looks more like most people’s wilderness garden. Capability Brown I ain’t!

I think I used to grow these before the garden fell apart. They are lovely.

I’ve admired them in other people’s gardens, and never actually grown flowers just for the sake of it before.

G.O’K, a fave of mine for her flowers, landscapes and words – and thank you for another cosmos. I have tons of pics of them – taken in other people’s gardens…. and hopefully one day I will be growing them again.
