Hi Brenda,

That first one looks like a progeny of Candy Cane or one of the other striped varieties. That second one is my favorite of the two, with uprolled spoon-ended petals and a spherical flower form that I totally love. If that one appeared in my zinnia patch, it would immediately be designated a top priority breeder status.

I am attaching a photo of another of my rather odd zinnias. It\'s not a favorite of mine, but it is rather different. It combines elements from cactus flowered, scabiosa flowered, and Whirligig bi-colored petals.
