HELP! ID These Flowering Plants

 

TO: My Gardner and Cake/Cookie Baking Cousin Nanette... or any other Cousin, Friend, and/or Associate with horticulture background, experience, and knowledge.

 Help!  Don't want to kill 'em, just want to put them elsewhere next year.  

What is this flowering plant? Five photos follow showing this still-growing, now near seven-foot tall flowering plant.  This spring a butterfly, bee, and hummingbird variety seed mix was planted in my two flower beds along with my Marigolds.  These plants are very doing well, and seem to be light frost tolerant... but would not have knowingly planted these monsters in my small flower beds.  WHAT ARE THESE VERY LARGE FLOWERING BUSHES?

A Couple Hundred Bud Clusters Bring More Flowers Each Day!

See comments on those folks who ID'ed the flowering plants -- thanks! 

Update 25 October 2022 8 AM -- and the COSMOS plants keep growing, many more flowers each day.  We've had a few light frost mornings but obviously no "killing frost" as yet in these parts.
