This is a Cosmos flower. It's also sometimes called Akizakura ('秋桜' meaning 'Autumn' and 'Cherry Blossom') in Japan. They are very popular fall flowers that a lot of people grow in their gardens.
Cosmos flowers come in a variety of pink shades. But I like the dark pink Cosmos the best.

I love cosmos too ;)
you seem to be a nature lover kind of person... but how can you not be, when you see such wonderful greenery everyday! ^-^
I love this flower, but I think is quite rare in Italy, if not at a florist's!
What a beautiful complement to the already vibrant fall colors.
I'm glad everyone seems to like cosmos'! I only took a photo upclose but seeing a field of cosmos is really beautiful too!
arabesque, yes I do love nature...maybe because i work in an office in the city all day :)
My favourite cosmos is chocolate. Do you know it?
Mo, I've never heard of it! Sounds lovely though! You'll have to post one and show it to us ;D
What a lovely colour...vibrant colours always catch my eyes.
