I've always loved
Cosmos flowers, but in my shade garden in Delta, I was never able to grow them. Here, I have the benefit of full morning sun all summer, so this spring I put in a packet of cosmos seeds under my kitchen window.
The house is on a steep slope, so that this window looks out onto the lawn from about a foot above ground level. So I'm now watching my cosmos patch from a rabbit's-eye viewpoint.

| They look different from underneath. Still beautiful. |
 |
| The bees love them. |
 |
| I even love yesterday's blooms. |
 |
| Another bee? Same bee? |
And I just missed a butterfly. Cabbage white.
The plants will keep on growing until they almost reach the top of the window, and they will bloom until the first frost. Which around here, may take its time arriving.
