Nice! Is it normal for Cosmos to get that big?
Glad you left it to bloom!

Thanks for sharing. Your land is to die for! Just wonderful.

OMG it is a Cosmos!

I would have never thought, but now that I see the bloom the leaf does make sense! LOL How fun is that.

Make sure and let the seedheads form for seeds next year!

I've only had or seen, purple, pink and white!

No kidding??? That's so neat Oh yeah, I'll be holding on to those seeds for sure!!!

There's something it likes in that spot.What I thought was interesting this one plant that fell over,how it put roots in the ground.Just amazing.

Thanks everyone for helping me figure it out :rainbow-sun

bayouchica - Do you know where it came from? Did you plant it intentionally? What did you feed it? Ok thanks

Hey, no don't have a clue where in the world it came from. I had planted some marigolds there from seeds I saved from last year.


It's close to the chicken coop,high traffic area.Guess the ground there is very fertile. I had run a soaker hose & it got alot of water.

You are thinking of C. bipinnatus; this one is what we call 'Mexican Cosmos' or C. sulphureus, which comes in yellow, orange, and red.
