Sorry - mine are fine . They were grown from seed early on in the year and they've flowered well. Seashells and Picotee . Higgy - I also sowed the free seeds ( the white ones beginning with a B ) They have just started flowering a couple of weeks ago but think that may be because the seeds were sown late .
Christopher 2 - yes, very tall and really healthy. Actually, they don't look at all bad in the border in amongst some grasses - I think I will take mollycatshirley's advice and see what happens in the next few weeks. It must be the weather musn't it -who'd have thought they would be so sensitive!
i started picotee and seashells early and did later sowings which are budding now my earlier sowings have been flowering for a good month planted by a wall on a slight gradient they havent got too soggy
The Sensation Mixed I gave to my mother for her garden have at last got buds on them, but not mine - although there's still time! But it was the ones in pots that really couldn't hack it - they died down and are now doing their thing on the compost heap.
Here are the cosmos that I have grown. Somehow theres a ruffled one too (which has lots of flowers attached to the stem and some petals have grown on the stem too rather than the flower, anyone know why it has done this in the 1st photo?) Even the bee's are loving them.

I sowed dwarf cosmos this year. They are about 5 foot tall and very pretty.

Grew Cosmos for the first time this year (from plug plants) and they are lovely. Can't wait to grow them next year, maybe from seed.
My Cosmos plants have produced lots of foliage, but still not flowering.
