Sunlight on the Cosmos…
Cosmos bipinnatus, also known as the Mexican Aster.
According to plantanswers: Spanish priests grew cosmos in their mission gardens in Mexico. The evenly placed petals led them to christen the flower "Cosmos," the Greek word for harmony or ordered universe.

We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that Saturn has over us or Venus? But it is a vital power, rippling exquisitely through us all the time…

order in the universe?
sounds like 18th century rebelion...
Apparently the Greeks and later, the Spanish priests believed the universe was ordered -- even in the face of rebellion :)
purple harmony of the petals...
