    I can’t see the foliage properly but unless it is sort of spikey I don’t think it is Cosmos , also Cosmos only has a single layer of petals . I am not sure what this one is but it is very pretty . x

  • naturelover replied

    Thankyou Irene- maybe part of the Anemone family?- will see if I can get a look at the leaves- when the rain gives up!!thanks for the kind comment!! x

    It’s very beautiful Pauline and an awesome capture, but definately not cosmos. It looks a bit like a dahlia hybrid.
