Another round of hot/humid weather - which will surely make my zinnia crop happy where I have them planted. Here are some photo\'s from my zinnia today. These are some of the ones that I will try and save seed from and use to do a little pollinating with (not necessarily in that order).

I\'m fascinated with the red edging on zinnia bloom in the first photo.
On # 3 photo - As you can see the soldier beetle is there - helping pollinate (I guess) as they don\'t seem to bother the zinnia and they show up this time of year always on the zinnia..
I really like the color I have with that #4 shot.
#5 wasn\'t the greatest of blooms, but the variation of pinks is lovely and different. I\'ll be excited to see more blooms out of this plant.
