Thanks NoH20! Just had to take a closeup of this beautiful bloom with the the gold undersides of the petals contrasting against the bright orange topsides.

hi,

Thanks, debi_z. No, I sure don't remember. All I can remember is orange strawflower. I've never tried any of the cosmos before. The double orange dwarf sounds like something I'd like to try. Thanks for suggesting it.
