Hi Brenda,

Those tiny zinnias are kind of cute, because they look like baby versions of dahlia flowered zinnias. I have a specimen in bloom of a zinnia flower form that I refer to as "Shaggy Dog". Its petals sort of hang down instead of sticking out from the bloom core. If its petals stood out straight it would approach 7 inches in diameter. I hope that at least some of its progeny will have petals that stand out to create a very large zinnia bloom. I am busy doing Fall cleanup in my gardens. More later.
