Cosmos

I absolutely love my Cosmos. They were a favorite Flower of my Grandfather Fred Albert Brenz and many of the old Gardeners in the early 1900s.

Those Cheery Faces began blooming in my Garden late in the Summer, but they go right through the Fall. While other Flowers are spent and drab by now, this robust Flower, which is 4-6 feet tall, has plans to keep blooming until the end.

You can almost hear them sing:

I have a job to do.

I shall decorate this place

with the most beautiful of colors

to see the Gardening Season through.

I shall offer my Seeds

and my lovely backdrop

for those Chickens

which are a source

of Pride and Joy for you.

I have Bees to feed

and offer sanctuary too.
