Delayed sensation

Last spring I planted a packet of cosmos seeds of the old “Sensation” variety. According to the packet, the plants start blooming in midsummer and get about four feet tall, which tallies with my memories of the plants in the family garden years ago. However, summer came and went, and the plants showed no sign of flowers. Instead, they just grew and grew. The ones that didn’t flop over are all five to six feet tall now. Finally, in October, they began to bloom. Here are a few pictures I took this afternoon.
