This year's Epic Fail in the flower garden was, believe it or not, cosmos. This beautiful annual is usually an easy mainstay of my garden, but this year I decided to buy already-growing plants rather than starting them from seed. Bad choice: The plants withered within days, leaving an embarrassingly empty half-row.
2009's disappointment was celosia, which also withered. As a result I have great admiration for the gorgeous crop of maroon-colored crested celosia (also known as cockscomb) that's thriving in someone's front garden along Street Road, between Mill Road and the New Bolton Center.
