I love cosmos too...though here at nurseries only white, pink and purplish ones are available. Love this orange color that reminds me of the poppies that sprout up here in So. Cal. Wish I had a photo to show you!

I'm currently renting a property overtaken by weeds and bermuda grass. I loathe the "devil grass" and always will but it's astonishing some of the pretty 'weeds' I discovered as well. A few I cultivate, too.

Hoping in time (if we're still here; landlord is on sabbatical in Japan) the good weeds will crowd out that damn grass! :)
