  10. Rainfield, the flowers were beautiful even after it rained in the fields ;>)

    Lotusleaf, thanks!

    Andrea, the weather in Putrajaya is partially cloudy, between 30-32C (I think). The most common is yellow and orange here too.

    Bananaz, I have updated my post with colour description now, hehe!

    Anonymous, we can grow cosmos and coreopsis in Malaysia. You can find the young plants or seedlings in your local nursery. If you buy these plants and grow in your garden, you can collect the seeds after the flower heads has dried up. The seeds of the common yellow and orange cosmos are also sold in packets which are available at garden centres and hypermarkets.

    Denise, thanks!

    Eileeninmd, wow, your yard must be very attractive now!

    Asha, thanks!

    P3chandan, this year I can't find any seeds at the garden bazaar. They sell ulam raja plants there, also many types of ornamentals, fruits, vege, herbs and spice plants, even white bunga kantan. In fact many many choices this year.

    Asha, thanks!

    Roan, welcome and thanks!

    Modern Mom, Mama Zen, Pat - Welcome to My Nice Garden and thank you very much for the nice comments.

    Bom, you are right. Even with a car, there is a limit to the plants we can buy and carry home.

    Grace, I am inspired by your encouraging comment. TQVM for letting me know.

    Chubskulit, Lina, you are so sweet.

    Anonymous, hope you'll get lots of beautiful cosmos for your garden.

    Maria, Wow, you have both white and red? I think it is a great combination. These colours are not common in my area.

    DJ, good luck with your cosmos. Hope they'll flower soon to fill your garden with their cheer and brighness.

  32. I love cosmos. I grew some from seed to see how they would do in the heat of the Arizona desert. When the temperature hit 118 F (48 C) they all died. So not so good for growing here.
