Cosmos


Last year there was a beautiful field of cosmos next to my uncle's house.  I failed to gather some seeds, so I had to buy a small pack for twenty cents.  The result is a group of pink flowers around my mailbox. I had to cut them back so that the mailman could see the box.  Through the years people in this area have gotten seeds from their neighbors and relatives.  The elderly gentleman next door had only orange cosmos to decorate his front step.  He and the cosmoses are long gone but not forgotten.
