Cosmos

Cosmos flower in mixed seeds patch planted to ground. I've tried a few times to grow early indoors then plant out unsuccessfully, so this may be what I do in the future to just add to a seedmix spread over ground.

Thunder & lightning yesterday, rain showers today & think more storms overnight.

Body found in Northumberland confirmed as Dr Peter Coshan, aged 75, retired Biology Teacher & Duke of Edinburgh Award Volunteer, RIP.

Petals of cosmos collecting the raindrops.
