Cosmos flowers.

The cosmos season only lasts a few weeks here, but while it does there are thousands of photo opportunities.

I can almost imagine fairies dancing around this flower.


They appear suddenly in the 2nd week of March and by the 3rd week of April the show is over.


You hardly ever find these flowers out in the open fields but always next to farm and country dirt roads.


Profusion or prolific doesn't even begin to describe the the billions of these flowers that line South Africa's highways and byways in autum!

My maternal grandfather always had a lot of cosmos.

I always thought they seemed more magical than some flowers. Great shots.
