KENIKIR ORANYE - ORANGE COSMOS
The orange cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus) is blooming. Here, this flower is called kenikir kuning. I can see it from my bedroom, through the window. This is a simple flower but so lovely.
I think the pink type is edible variety. The pink type is called suring, kenikir or patraseli in Indonesia. This orange variety is much bigger than the pink one.
They seem to be doing very well. Here you can sometimes see coreopsis growing wild along country roads. They are a native plant. But of course here they bloom in summer.
beautiful... I have the pink type ..ulam raja... not sure the name used in Indonesia...

DeleteSuch a nice color, reminds me of our buttercup though maybe a little darker yellow.
ReplyDeleteThis is an usual plant that we can find it on the home garden or road side. A very simple flower, and easy growing.

ReplyDeleteThis variety is growing very well in low land tropics. This plant love hot and dry weather.
DeleteIt is a beautiful colour,
ReplyDeleteI love this color, add more color in my veg beds.
DeleteWe grow lots of annual pink and white cosmos which have finer leaves. This is a lovely bright colour.
ReplyDeleteThe pink and white cosmos grow well in highland tropics. But look so poor in low land.
DeleteWhat a brilliant orange!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLovely Cosmos. The first time I see in that color.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from far, cloudy Polish.
