I was unfamiliar with the name before coming to Korea from the US and Europe. Here it is a commonly seen roadside flower, motly white and lilac in color, growing on long stalks, with the slender stalks joining about six to twelve inches down, one at a time, cumulating maybe 2-5? individual flowers.

[edit] Amazing Cosmos Picture

Someone should upload this [1] picture and add it to this article, because it is a stunning photo. Before all of you start talking about copyright issues, it clearly states on page 8 of the photographer's page [2] (on which the picture is displayed) that, "© This photo is public." He does want to be credited, as stated on Creative Commons liscenses for other pictures of his. I would do this myself, but I don't know how. Nauticashades 15:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

The picture isn't usable here unless explicit permission from the author is given. "Public" simply means it's publicly viewable, the image isn't licensed under any permissive, free license compatible with Wikipedia. Samuel Grant 18:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
