Cosmos

This cosmos in our yard finally bloomed. Hooray. I have been watching the stalk grow for months -- first straight upward, but then it got too tall and collapsed sideways under its weight. Even so, it stayed green and eventually blossoms formed and now it has bloomed.

コスモスです。我が家の庭に咲いています。九州の行橋市の市の花ですね。行橋に住んだときから好きで、ここに引っ越してきたときに庭師に頼んで植えてもらいました。椿も今咲いていますよ。でも椿の花はすぐ落ちますよね。
