Day 230 of Week 33, August 2023
 |
| Red Cosmos |
The red cosmos didn't respond to Miracle Grow the same as the more common white and pink cosmos. Instead, the red variety puts the energy into stem and leaf growth.
The feathery leafed flower was put in a large planter mid to late June. Late August, this week is the first time the red cosmos has bloomed. Main stems are as thick as my thumb. Beautiful as greenery, it will make a nice tall border next year among Bachelor Buttons and white cosmos.
Have a Blooming Good Weekend!

ReplyDeleteHAh - the secret you'll tell the apple is 'watch out, you're going to be applesauce'.
The red and green is so beautiful together . Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. lol
I like a boiled apple with scrambled eggs.
Thank you for the link
I saw holiday stockings made from vintage dish towels last year in a copy of Yankee Magazine. I'm determined to make vintage dish towels a holiday motif this year. Problem is, online and thrift stores, the prices are higher than I like.
Marie,
ReplyDeleteThe new red cosmos just opening, are a deep, deep red.
I didn't plant any cosmos this year but they are a favorite. The red is lovely.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteThe orange cosmos I missed planting this year. They always add a spark of color to the garden, and make sunset light special.
Beautiful macro shot of one of my favorites ~ the Cosmos ~ gorgeous!

Debra,
ReplyDeleteThe waltzing and applesauce are left on this easy list.

I found linen dish towels on Amazon at a good price. I think perhaps embroidery and drawing designs on them will work.
That is pretty!
ReplyDeleteWilliam,
ReplyDeleteA flower the bugs love, they are nice when they bloom.
