The image depicts the blossom of a cosmos flower. The white petals are adorned with longitudinal pink lines. Towards the centre of the bloom, the pink hue takes over, replacing the white. The yellow flower disc, with its distinct individual components, is clearly visible. The blurred background is a mix of green and black.
The cosmos #flower has blossomed today. Wikipedia also lists other names for it: Mexican #aster or cosmea. In German, this beautiful flower is called #Schmuckkörbchen.
A brave display in the increasingly #chilly #October!
