Happy first day of spring! I thought I'd share the varieties of cosmos I planted last year. Seed companies sell more varieties than I'm showing here, but I'd say these were a success.
This is asters disease on Cosmos. I pulled up the plants immediately, and it didn't spread.
Above is all the cosmos planted together in front of painted lady runner beans. I saved some seeds, and they may have intermingled, so we'll see what kind of flowers they sprout this summer. Below is Purity. It is vigorous to the point where I worried about the native perennials I planted in the same space. Purity looked feathery and lush, covered in blossoms.

Daydream... I think. I tried to save seeds of this one.
