A Surprise!
I haven't taken much notice of the garden recently. It's all overgrown but will have to wait until next year for some attention ... by then I'm hoping my eyes will have improved and I'll be able to do it myself, but if not I'll pay for it to be done.
Anyway, this morning on the way to take the rubbish to the bins I spotted this ...
... one cosmos plant ready to flower. I didn't plant any this year so this is left over/self seeded from last year. I hope it's pink!
Oh, I love Cosmos! My mother planted some in the garden, years ago, and they kept returning every year! I remember the birds used to love eating the seeds! Everything died during our drought, but I still have a packet of seeds left - I should throw them on the ground and see what happens!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to have a garden full of cosmos and nothing else .... I love them!
DeleteMe too! So evocative of Japan!
