Hi Loretta,

Good question. I\'ll be starting my indoor zinnia project soon. I will probably use it to make the somewhat difficult crosses between Razzle Dazzles and other zinnias. I have already made a few such crosses, and they did lead to some interesting results, including petals that were partially tubular and having \"fingers\" on the ends of the petals. That is somewhat like the Razzle Dazzle bloom, but yet completely different. I have some other projects in mind, and zinnias are always capable of coming up with their own \"surprises\". I want to have some really interesting zinnia seeds available for my outdoor plantings next Spring.
