Hi Brenda,

That 7-bloom plant is unusual, and worthy of being designated as a breeder, labeled, and have all the seed it produces saved.

I have been crossing my Razzle Dazzles with larger zinnias in an attempt to get big Razzle Dazzles. The F1 hybrids of RDs with \"regular\" zinnias have a somewhat different and unexpected look. They are different, but don\'t look at all like the Razzle Dazzles. I have hopes that F2 recombinants from their saved seeds will show some new more Razzle-Dazzle-like larger forms.
