IAVOM – Composites

A mix of annual composite flowers are now coming into bloom in my garden. Featured today are a mix of Gloriosa Rudbeckias, including ‘Cherry Brandy’ and some creamy Zinnia elegans. Foliage is Coleus (Plectranthus) and Rhododendron leaves.

I love this mahogany eye with a ring of tiny disc florets surrounding the cone!
