Cosmos Flowers

The Cosmos Flowers are blooming like mad here in Michigan! There are about 20 different kinds of Cosmos, so I am not exactly sure which one this is. These type of plants will grow to about 3 or 4' tall and are very easy to take care of. They are also one of the easiest seeds to grow. Often times this plant will re-seed itself if you let the seeds fall right off the flowers.

If you look closely you can see a frog on one of these lily pads. Pretty neat that these ugly looking lily pads can create such a beautiful flower...

No idea what exactly this is, a sponge or some kind of coral, perhaps you might know... This was taken at the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. If you are interested in what's in our oceans and lakes check out my new blog Fish Index!
