I cannot seem to get enough of those beautiful zinnia. The other night I stayed long enough in the garden to see just how many of the night flying moths were flying about - and it sure wowed me. It is a wonder I have any tomatoes as most of them were from the tomato horn worm. My fourth planting for the year are just about to get into full force with blooms. The others I have planted - I think I need to take the hedger to the centers to make me a path to get through. Here are the ones I need to hedge in the 1st photo. I hedged their centers before and it works well. I thought I should share some of this years crop from my 4th planting in the Wetland Garden. I think most of these are the result of the rose type zinnia I used last year to try and hybridize with. Yes as ZM says, \"It can be fun to hybridize your own zinnias.\"
