Hi! I\'m new to this thread and was looking for additional info on the below zinnias. I saved seeds from my zinnia last year and when I planted one I ended up with this! From what I\'ve read on other forums, this is a male sterile zinnia and my original zinnia must have been an F1 hybrid. I pollinated it today with pollen from some other zinnias. My questions: now what? How will I know if it pollinated? If it did, how do I collect the seeds? Will it grow petals? Will the seeds form somewhere else on the flower? There is very little information about this out there! Please help! Thank you!
