Yes cosmos - the green butterfly could be the ‘brilliant emerald’, a native of the Amazon basin.

I don't think it is cosmos, though this highlights the reason why plants should be labeled
just as the emerald green butterfly is labeled " Menorka"

This mornings offering, Dahlia Star Mix. Quite pretty I think but of the three plants this is the only one with any colour. The others are either pale yellow or white.Attached FilesGardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment

Golden Californian poppy - the national flower of California. An annual but self seeds freely in situ or elsewhere if allowed. Absolutely beautiful in large drifts blooming all through the summer and when the flower first opens it has the deep colour of yolk which fades to a lighter yellow as it ages. Partially closes its petals in poor weather or at night.Attached FilesComment
