this dainty little flower also came up all by itself mysteriously. This is the second summer we've enjoyed it.

We know that it comes from a seed. I guess the birds planted it last year, but we scattered seed in the fall so we could enjoy them again.

any info will be appreciated! [Smile]

I think you've got the coreopsis right, but the mouse ear tickseed part doesn't fit. The leaves are more like marigolds not lobes.

Thanks for your input! I think I'll keep them. They are very happy little flowers and really brighten up the garden. [flower]

Klondike Cosmos, Sulphur Cosmos, Orange Cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus)

I think that's it!!! There's a good picture of it at davesgarden.com

I'm glad it's a "real" flower and not just a weed so my mom won't make me pull it!

Thanks! You all are great! [clappy]

You know it was just a fluke that I reconized it,
cause I just grew them for the first time this year...
Loz our hostess had sent me some pink ones,
and when I happened to come acrossed the orange
one's I thought it would look good together,
so I picked it up, and those flowers match mine
to a "T"....

Things work out funny that way, huh!!!???!!!!
