One advantage that marigold flowered zinnias have over actual marigolds is that marigold flowered zinnias can have a much wider color range. This plum colored marigold flowered zinnia was as a hybrid between a scabiosa flowered zinnia and a cactus flowered zinnia in 2007 in my Maine garden. The picture is a bit fuzzy because it was a frame grab from a video camera. A New Year's resolution was to buy my own digital SLR camera in 2009.
