The levaes look more like a marigold, but the flower looks sort of like a cosmo. Whatever it is, I like it! Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

That looks like a cosmos to me. Hey, if you like it and it grew that way once maybe you'll be able to get it again. Save the seeds and plant them. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Any time I find one that seems to be creating a pod that may spill the seeds I will put a piece of nylon over it (like a tomato flower when I want to KEEP that bugger heirloom for seed collection!) to keep them in one spot .
