Oddly, I haven't seen any Goldenrod blooming here yet. Seems it typically starts in July, and certainly by this time in August.

They are really short, maybe a foot, foot and a half. I never had these before. I will have to see on a done flower if I can find the seeds before the Goldfinches eat them. Goldfinches love the seeds of cosmos. Anyway these are called Cosmic Red Cosmos.

Those are Heirloom collection from One Stop Poppy Shope.
OR if they are salmon colored, thats Venus. All are somnifariums. Thats the variety I have the best luck with.

JoAnn those are gorgeous! I finally had some luck with poppies this year... mainly these purple ones, although I sowed a bunch of different types.

It takes a couple of years for poppies to reseed in the same spot. Then they are massed and beautiful.
