Cosmos bipinnatus

Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly called the garden cosmos or Mexican aster, is a medium sized flowering herbaceous plant sometimes grown in gardens. It can be found in the wild in much of North America where it is a garden escapee, sometimes becoming weedy.
This species is considered a half-hardy annual, although plants may re-appear via self-sowing for several years. The plant height varies from two to four feet. The cultivated varieties appear in shades of pink and purple as well as white. Its foliage is finely-cut into threadlike segments. Some of the varieties of Cosmos bipinnatus in cultivation today include: Sensation is a widely available mix of tall varieties Versailles and Sonata, developed for the cut flower trade, are shorter than the species, with heights remaining below three feet Daydream features a pink inner ring on a white background Seashells features quilled petals Growth characteristics of this plant include:Germination takes between 7 and 10 days at the optimal temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 °C); flowering begins between 60 and 90 days after germination It prefers a soil pH between 6.0 and 8.5, reflecting its native habitat in the alkaline regions of Central America Flowering is best in full sun, although partial shade is tolerated
The plant is tolerant to drought after germination, and is seldom subject to insect or disease damage
The flowers of Cosmos attract birds and butterflies, including the Monarch butterfly.

amazing pink cosmos,clear,bright well balanced in term of contrasts and brightness.good POv and nice composition.tfs

Hi Burak,
A wonderful pink flower adorned with fabulous light and sharpness is impeccable!
Nice complimenting environment with blurred pink flowers all over.
Beautiful composition and accurate details.
I suppose, it's a dedication to our friend Selahattin (I don't understand Turkish), if you would write your note in English, it would be better. Maybe the flower is the sister of yesterday's Selahattin post!
I'm just joking!
A worthy gift for our friend!
Have a good day, my friend,

Francis Xavier
