Hi Brenda,

I hope to get some seeds from the Shaggy Dog. I am also watching my other zinnias for any larger-than-normal ones. I am attaching a picture of a current zinnia with a rather unusual variation of its flower form.

It is fairly large, but not \"giant\" by my standards. I think a zinnia needs to be 6 inches or more in diameter to be considered as \"giant\". However, I think most seed catalogs consider 5 inches or more as \"giant\". By seed catalog standards, this zinnia is giant.
