This weeks theme is Pink
I love this flower.
I can’t figure out why I haven’t grown cosmos for two years though. I mean, they are so easy to grow. Heck they reseed themselves so well that you only have to plant seeds about once every three years or so!
Note to self – be sure to plant some cosmos next year!
I love my New York Asters. Aren’t they just lovely? The flowers are only about an inch across and they don’t bloom until mid September or so each year.
Even though we’re nearing the end of October my New York asters are still going strong.
I’ve only got one of these plants. I must remember to look up how to divide the plant during the winter and then I can go out in the garden come spring and hopefully divide the clump into three or four pieces. I’d love to have one or two of these 2 to 3 feet tall Asters “bushes” growing at the front of the house.

This weeks theme is Practical
You knew I’d find a flower for the Practical theme this week didn’t you? Of course I did.
I think flowers are very practical life forces.
They develop on plants, look attractive and sometimes give off scents which attract insects who either help the plant produce fruit or that protect the plant in some way. Then, once the flower fades seeds are often produced which help the plant ensure that new plants come up the following year.
Plants and flowers are very practical.
BTW this is the seed head of a Maltese cross flower.
