I have to admit that wife Ellen has a major hand in this endevor. I do most of the seed starts for both flowers and veggies, she does much of the arranging and planting. Some of them are just seeds tossed in place to see if they will grow. Our garden looks somewhat helter-skelter at times. When all else fails, zinnias and marigolds do well here under any condition.

We planted this Cosmos out of a generic seed package called "Sensation Mix". I had never tried this one before. The very first flowers were all pink and purple colored. It sort of died out for a while, then all of a sudden came back, this time as all pure white! I'm at a loss as to explain why this happened. They were pretty though, and just in time for the wedding!
