I love taking photos of cosmos. They are so pretty now. I am really enjoying them since so many perennials are no longer blooming. The bumblebees enjoy them as much as I do.

The "Seashells" cosmos with the curled petals are my favorite. I plan to plant more of this type in different colors next year.

These cosmos grew very tall so I had to shoot the photo looking up at the sky. This is an experiment with my photo software. I have these little brown double winged moths everywhere. All the insects seem to like the cosmos. This bumblebee is one of the many that like them. Another "sky shot" of a very tall cosmos. I wish the sky had been blue when this photo was taken.

Cosmos

These cosmos have grown so tall I have to look up to take photos. They were so pretty against the clear blue sky.

I planted white cosmo seeds and so far only one is blooming. All the others are either pink or gold.
