Description
Captured back on 11/9/07, early AM, somewhere within the vast perimeter of the neighborhood.
ZOOM for better detail.
Well, I strongly believe it's a Cosmos; no, not the Cosmos of astrophysicist Carl Sagan, but the lovely hardy breed of flower native to Mexico.
I found it listed as a Zinnia in my old files, but, with Andrea waiting in the wings eager to pounce on my flower IDs, I had to make sure, so I did some research. Of course, I could be wrong. Not that my reputation as any sort of flora expert is at stake, but it saves me embarrassment in re the genre.
Since it's been 4-1/2 years since I snapped this shot, I can't recall if the water drops were from rain or sprinkler system generated.
So long for now, and have a nice day.

Beautiful Cosmo flowers. Mine did not do very well this year. I'll try again next spring.

What a beautiful shot, Harry; the water drops (whatever their source) are beautiful on those pink petals. Great work!

They always make a great splash of colour in the garden and this one looks great with the raindrops or hose drops. A lovely shot.
