Yeah, it's hot out, but it's summer so what did I expect? The past few days were sweltering but today is pretty darn pleasant. My Cosmos seems to like it. When I planted this flower, it was about 6 inches tall. Now, it's nearly five feet tall. The little marker that came with the plant said that it would grow up to 24 inches. LIARS! I'm not sure I like a plant that can look me in the eye. Hmmmm..
