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.

You did a great job of capturing the beauty of the flower with all of the shades of orange and gold!
