Robin - Thank you! I have shared with local garden club on Tuesday. They had a great time seed saving and I hosted them with a seed saving program on the \"how too\'s of seed saving\" just prior. This is the wet area where I try to plant about June 1st each year. This year the weather was a bummer and I was NOT sure if they would perform for me as I planted them mid July and then rain & more rain. I\'m happy to say, \"Well they made it!\" They make me happy every time I go walk among them. . . . . That sounds kinda crazy, but it is very true. The main area with the zinnia is about a half acre with 300 foot rows. I plant these solely for my enjoyment. Here is another color that I really like and will be again saving seed from (the first photo) and a few more - others. And then there are the cosmos beyond the zinnia. The cosmo are really enjoying this cooler weather. Glad I could share.
