The rainy season is incomplete without rain, greenery and flowers everywhere in the nature. The colourful cosmos flowers remind us that the nature is beautiful. 

The warm sun kissed the cosmos flowers of the street, lakes and open spaces around us amid the rain. Winds sway in motion and the cosmos flowers do the same in the rainy season.

City’s Gulshan Lake offered the extraordinary scenic beauty to the city dwellers as hundreds of cosmos flowers bloomed there. People get an eye relief when they walk along the lake. Yellow-coloured cosmos flowers in the lake draw attention of the people as such scene is very rare to watch in the city.

Cosmos is a genus, with the same common name of cosmos, consisting of flowering plants in the sunflower family.
