A few more zinnia that I have marked to save the seeds from. ZM - Thought you might have some good input on my hybridizing below???

Seems I'm saving a tremendous amount of seeds this year, and I just keep marking the beauties that I'll want to gather a little later after frost. If the seeds dry as well as I expect they will, I would almost be foolish to buy any new seed. It amazes me the many variations that a person can come up with when hybridizing. What FUN. My problem is - I don't just like zinnias - I like just about all flowers. My two rows of zinnia (both over 300 feet long), have now grown together in the center. The weather has been just perfect for them. What can I say?
