GTS - Green Thumb Sunday

This is a last summer greeting I chose for today's theme. The weather is like in November here in Munich but everywhere you can still see these:

"Cosmos bipinnatus" (Asteraceae)

    I think they are cosmos. I used to plant cosmos, but they reseed so prolifically they were taking over!

    In Canada we call these beautiful flowers Cosmos , they are delightful as they last until a hard frost

    I think that this may be from the Aster family (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteraceae). Lovely photos on your blog. -- Good Acres

    Hi Heather,
    what I like especially with these is their delicacy and their strength at the same time. Wind apparently cannot destroy them - they just bend graciously and stand up again...
