I really like flowers, and cosmos are one of my favorites. They resemble daisies and come in a variety of colors. I am landscaping my garden, and I planted this plant a couple of months ago. It took a while to bloom, so I was delighted to see its first buds and excited to see what color its petals would be. At first, the buds are very small and quite closed, so I waited a little longer to begin capturing the cycle of its evolution.
