You like to play detective.....see what you can find on the "disease" called "Aster Yellow".
If you look at the link below--I just went to Pl amt ID Forum to find out why my Zinnias only have
little balls for blooms--and no petals.

Kwanjin said it was A.Y.--which is transmitted by insects--and said I should pull all the affected plants
and trash them. I would like to know more on this "disease"....before I do that...

I now also have a name of these beautiful, tall Zinias the seed came from. "Zowie!!!" Yellow Flame.

Thanks, Gita
