Red And Yellow Mums
Took this one in my neighborhood just today... I believe these flowers are Mums, but you can correct me if I am wrong. I have a feeling it won't be too long before these Mums are snow covered.

Cosmos Flowers
The Cosmos Flowers are blooming like mad here in Michigan! There are about 20 different kinds of Cosmos, so I am not exactly sure which one this is. These type of plants will grow to about 3 or 4' tall and are very easy to take care of. They are also one of the easiest seeds to grow. Often times this plant will re-seed itself if you let the seeds fall right off the flowers.
