Yes, these are cosmos. I plant some in one particular bed every year,
but they also wander around the garden on their own. These are quite
tall. This particular specimen is well over 6-ft. With naturalizing
there are also some unique color combinations and markings out there.
One of the nice things about them is that they are one of the few
flowers in my garden that are still in bloom at this time of year
(along with border dahlias and nasturtium). They may be known as a
"kids flower", but I find them quite attractive and useful.
