The Cosmos


This time of the year many flowers are beginning to fade but this is when Cosmos is at its best. I am seeing this beautiful flower in bloom all over town right now.

Flowers are our passion, won't you join in on the fun. Visit Macro Flowers Saturday and Today's Flowers for more photos.

Me too! As a matter of fact, I spent the weekend taking pictures of them, mine look just like yours!! I was even ready to post mine tonight, but caught a good sunset and some deer today, so I'm putting it off till later this week. It really surprised me to see them out this late! But I read that they bloom twice a year. And what ARE those little brown moths on them that have four wings? If you don't know, then no one will! Your pics are georgous!

They are so beautiful, this color especially. For some reason, I associate them with butterflies. They are so beautiful with their delicate flower head waving in the wind.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos on Macro Flowers Saturday!

I love flowers! Unfortunately I can admire them from afar, not in my house as I have a very sensitive hay fever sufferer. Thanks to you Judy, I have a flower everyday :-)

The Cosmos are absolutely stunning. I love the color.
All good here in NC!! Looks like our fair broke a record in attendance. The expected it to reach 1 million today. AMAZING!!
The week has been full of excellent weather too that helps.
Happy Sunday,
