Cosmos Bipinnatus 'Sea Shells'

She sells seashells on the seashore 😂😂 this has eventually flowered its lid off after a slow start #donefromseed 💞💕💞💕💞

Just WOW, looks even better in reality 😊

Love the colour

Beautiful 💕💕💕💕

Absolutely wonderful. 😍🌸 They always seem to start slow but put on a growth & flowering spurt from mid August, until the first frosts kill them off. These are fabulous. 👌💝🌸

@jpea thank you so much 😊

@charlotte thank you had to be pink 💞💞

@cyndi they stay the same shape hun like little cones 💕👍😆

@AlisaJ thanks hun 🤗

@jeatacake very true Jeff but I forget that every year 😁

Lol! I'm like that too, getting impatient with them (& other plants), then all of a sudden, they've come on a bundle. Maybe they listen to us & take notice? 😁

Love them..💗💗

Putting on a good show now 💞💞💞 done from #seeds

@jadojado29 thank you Suzie 😘

First flower pleased to see this as done from seed and lost some to the hailstone 💞💞💞

@Jasonsparkes1 It is Jason Im liking it 💞

Love it! 🌸💕 I've had one so far and it was so tiny I needed a magnifying glass! 😂

Beautiful & fascinating! Are those petals completely tubular? It's like a circle of foxglove flowers 💜👍 🌸

@rachelbrooks I think I've over fed all mine they are about 4' high as are dahlias 🙄 taking over border wont be nipping out next year they get too big and all my other plants are smothered 🙄

@jeatacake yes Jeff they are lovely completely tubular so different 💞👌

I stopped feeding mine after I read it promotes too much foliage and not enough flowers. Although I can't say I've got either! 🙈 my Dahlias are huge too, and to be honest some I pinched out and some I didn't and it doesn't seem to have made any difference! 😬

Really like these seashell ones, next year!

Wow..💕

@rachelbrooks the dahlias I didn't pinch out are much smaller and still have same amount of blooms will fit in border alot better next year, one year I will be happy 😂😂😂

Lol! D'you think we ever will be?! 🙈

Prob not Rachel, I say every year to neighbour wont have as much to do next year and he said you've been saying that for last few years but you add and change it every year @rachelbrooks 😂😂😂
