Another day closer


I often tend to post a photo of a vibrant flower when our weather is overcast and grim. Today's (9 March 2016) forecast is for a mainly sunny day, though it is fairly overcast so far. The next few days should be between +10C and +14C, so our spring-like weather will continue. It is so dry here - not good for farmers, of course, with so little moisture during the winter months. Also not good as far as forest and bush fires are concerned, with everywhere being so very dry.
I always enjoy seeing Cosmos flowers - these were growing at the Reader Rock Garden on 24 June 2015. I liked the colour combination of these three flowers.
"Cosmos is a genus, with the same common name of Cosmos, consisting of flowering plants in the sunflower family.
It is native to scrub and meadowland in Mexico where most of the species occur, as well as the United States, as far north as the Olympic Pennsula in Washington, Central America, and to South America as far south as Paraguay.
The genus includes several ornamental plants popular in gardens." From Wikipedia.
