Cosmos Flowers

The Cosmos Flowers are blooming like mad here in Michigan! There are about 20 different kinds of Cosmos, so I am not exactly sure which one this is. These type of plants will grow to about 3 or 4' tall and are very easy to take care of. They are also one of the easiest seeds to grow. Often times this plant will re-seed itself if you let the seeds fall right off the flowers.
