Colour now and for next year

One of my blueberries, 'Goldtraube' is putting on a wonderful show of colour which I am really enjoying.  It was a dark burgundy red a week or two ago and is gradually changing to this...
 ...fiery bright red...
 ...with yellow and orange. It is fantastic.
 Colour for next year will be provided partly by these lovely Cosmos and californian poppies.  Cosmos has done really well for me over the last few years, so I have ordered more varieties for next year.  The packets at the back of the photo didn't have pictures, so the pictures below are from Mr Fothergill's website.
 Cosmos cosimo red purple white and...
...Cosmos Tetra Versailles mixed.  I hope these new-to-me varieties will do well next year.
