Today at Iten's Acres: October 19, 2011

Behold the cosmos. Starts blooming in early June--pinks, reds, wines, white. By mid-October some of them are ten to twelve feet tall and covered with blooms. Some have so many blooms they fall over! They are unfazed by the chill and the certainty of the coming frost and winter. They have a "secret." Their seeds are everywhere and next spring--no matter how cold the winter--they'll be back. Gorgeous as ever.
