A giant field of pink, purple and white cosmos flowers fills the land behind Louie Mattero's Monroe Township home. The stunning display was planted by Mr. Mattero's son-in-law, Andy Ingels, who also happens to be his next door neighbor. Mr. Mattero grew up on the swath of land, which is bordered on one side by the River Raisin and the other by S. Dixie Rd. The land had been leased out for general farming until recent years.
