Hi Desperado25. I am new to gardening as well. I purchased a mixed pot of Zinnias from Lowes, and it had both orange and pink flowers. I seperated them when I replanted them under my birdbath. The orange ones looked horrible,dry and very stiff. The pinks ones however looked ok. Well, I cut the orange flowers off and they began immediately to produce more buds and came back very pretty, not stiff like they were. So now, whenever the flower starts looking ugly, I cut it off right under the head.
