The Accommodating Cosmos

Some flowers are almost impossibly for me to capture despite aiming over them, under them, or beside them. The cosmos on the other hand looks lovely from every angle. Widely revered as one of the easiest flowers to grow, the cosmos flower can be planted just about anywhere. They germinate in five to ten days. Planting them once is all that’s needed because their self-seeding ways create flowers year after year. A bouquet of cosmos is a great gift for a person with an October birthday. It's the official flower for that month.

​
Their seeds look like miniature pine needles. Like pine needles, the flowers with tiny yellow central disc florets spiral in a Fibonacci pattern. Isn’t Nature astounding. The word “cosmos” is a direct derivative of the Greek word “kosmos,” which means world order so symbolizes harmony. The flowers originated from Mexico but have spread all across the U.S. They thrive from summers to fall. Cutting flowers for bouquets promotes more blossoms. They are the most accommodating of flowers.
