Cosmos bipinnatus
Cosmos bipinnatus by Ariane Bourneville, 2022
This photographic series captures the vibrant beauty of a large, robust flowering hedge of Cosmos bipinnatus. The glorious flowers, in shades of white, pink, and crimson, arch gracefully towards the sun, soaking up light to attract a lively gang of local bees hovering around the blossoms. Each image pays homage to the gardening skills of my boyfriend Jordan, who planted these flowers. His talent, passed down from his maternal grandmother, continues the cherished tradition of the iconic Hamilton flower garden. Located in Dinsdale, Hamilton, Aotearoa, this collection not only showcases the enchanting beauty of the cosmos flowers but also celebrates a legacy of horticultural passion and heritage.
