Clown Flowers in our back yard! They are so beautiful! The colors are vivid, the texture like velvet! Rich, dark purple, with lighter shades of lavender and creamy yellow in the center. The best part is they come up every summer on their own. We never planted them, they just showed up in our back yard garden space, and have kept coming up for the past four years we've lived here! 
These brilliant orange Cosmos were planted, from seeds, in our garden last year, and this year they came back on their own! They are very tall plants. I held the camera way over my head to snap these two photos! It had just started to sprinkle, so the water droplets were clinging to the petals in a glorious, delicate way. 
I wish these flowers made good bouquets, but they don't last very long, so it's better to enjoy them outside in their natural setting, rather than arranged in a vase on my table.
