Incredibly stunning.
Wow.
That’s a lovely sight in the middle of the city. Have a good flight!
Stunning!
Eye popping field of flowers. I hope you are home safe and sound by now.
Got home last night!
Travel safe. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip.
Wow, that’s a lot of cosmos. They’re annuals so I wonder if they self-seed here or have to be “manually” replanted? Have a good journey home.
They are planted by seed. There are several small fields with different kinds of Cosmos, all of them seeded at different times.
So beautiful, in this setting!
Beautiful!! I love it en masse. It must be covered with pollinators.
It was! There were several kinds of butterflies (none I recognized) and lots of bees.
I’ve fallen in love with orange flowers over the past couple of years – that is just spectacular!
I’m also a lover of orange flowers – so cheerful and exciting.
Isn’t that just lovely! Sometimes the simplest things bring the brightest pleasure.
What a dazzling sight.
Wow, and more wow!! Thanks for sharing some sneak peaks of your trip; looking forward to seeing more.
Interesting. I saw some orange cosmos near our local farmers market the other day. Stopped to watch for a few minutes and did not see any pollinators. (Of course, there were not *nearly* as many cosmos as in your photo…
Welcome back to the States ! Hope your garden has thrived despite your absence.
The pollinators were plentiful in this field. I think Cosmos are generally very good pollinator plants. I wonder if someone had sprayed the Cosmos you saw with insecticide?
That field of cosmos is truly impressive!
Lovely shot, I love seeing flowers and greenery (and orange!) in a city. Hope your garden is coming along well.
Stunning! I hope you find your garden thriving, and full of pleasant surprises.xxx
Wow, this is astounding!
Amazing! I am going to confess that I’m getting a little in love with the blog.
Very nice of you to say.
