In the spring of this year, i was trying to find out what this amazing, beautiful white flower that came up out of seeds from a $1 wildflower can last summer was. (i had never planted anything before last summer) There was only one, though it bloomed quite a few times, and it just seemed so special and remarkable, i wanted to plant more.
Somehow i found the canister, and started typing each name into google.
Well, i had no luck, but of course, i kept getting hits on DG. Finally i came here and found the ID forum, and posted the picture of my magic white flower (i had used it for my online Xmas card last year!). And i got an answer in less than 30 minutes.
After all that...

My extraordinary white flower was a cosmos.

i never laugh at people who post totally obvious common plants on the ID forum. a few months ago, i was one of them!
