At certain times in life, we have to say goodbye to someone we care about, without knowing if we will ever see them again. This can be very painful and hard to accept, especially if the goodbye is sudden and unexpected. There is a flower that can help us make sense of these difficult moments: the cosmos flower. Cosmos is a beautiful annual/perennial plant that blooms all over the northern half of South Africa for a few weeks each year, generally in mid/late March.
