ZM - Looks like you have plenty of pollinators too. That\'s a bonus when in the zinnia bed - I like it when it\'s a buzzzzzz. Your zinnias are OUTSTANDING as always. Here are my BEST for the year.

I\'m collecting all the good white seed heads I come across in my beds. Also collecting yellow/orange, red, pink/purple, cactus, specialty, and Liliput. Obviously my collection of seed is really growing to the extent I will have more than what I started with in 2017. I think I must have had a half bushel of seed from last year and every bit of it went into the ground. If I didn\'t space mine so close together, no telling how many more favorites I could have.

Some of these below I probably previously posted - but these are 2017 favorites.

It amazes me the people that do NOT know how to save zinnia seed.

Keep having fun with zinnias. I\'ve not started taking my plants out yet. Guess I\'ll wait for the last BEAUTY.
