They will probably produce flowers just before the first frost.<br />I grew white, pink, and a fushia this year....and like you I love them......<br /><br />Love the bee and hoverfly pics.....<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend and hope the sunshine appears for you......Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-88638393679983829602009-07-17T17:12:58.739+01:002009-07-17T17:12:58.739+01:00Val - Cosmos is pretty amazing, its lovely flowers...Val - Cosmos is pretty amazing, its lovely flowers and airy foliage is something of dreams...

But with the horrible weather today I won't be able to get photos. There was actually quite a surprise when I saw the flowers coming out - they're not the colour I expected!!!<br /><br />I suspect they may become lighter though as they come out...
