Hi Brenda,

My number 2 is showing strong Whirligig heritage, with the white tips on red petals. I estimate that over half of my zinnias have some Whirligig "blood" in them. I strongly recommend the Stokes Seeds strain of Whirligigs, because it has a decent fraction of double and semi-double flowers, in a variety of forms that don't appear on the catalog pictures. And Stokes Seeds also offers economical bulk and semi-bulk prices. These zinnias all have Whirligig influence.
