A pink striated garden cosmos, aka cosmos bipinnatus with blurred curving goldenrod in th background. The cosmos has a dense yellow cluster of starry stamens in the center. The tip of one the petals has an unusual tag that looks like a chevron cut at the end of a ribbon, or two little horns. The image background is a off-white/grey.
