Description
This bumblebee was enjoying one of the many cosmos flowers in my wife's garden on a beautiful August day in southwest Michigan.
Cosmos is a member of the Compositae or Asteraceae family, just like their ‘cousins’: sunflowers, marigolds, yarrow, daisies, zinnias, lettuce and dandelions. These easy care flowers are perfect for a full sun position in your garden or a pot, growing through spring to autumn.
Not surprisingly, the name Cosmos comes from the Greek word ‘kosmos’ which means ‘beautiful’.
Their open flowers provide easy access to nectar and pollen. You can never have enough pollinators and predator insects in your garden, helping pollinate and pest manage for you. Cosmos flowers are magnets for beneficial insects like lacewings, parasitic wasps, tachinid flies and hoverflies that feed on many pest insects and provide free pollination services.
