Hi all,

The scabiosa hybrid in this attached picture is similar to, but different from, the one shown back on January 28, 20099:12 AM.

The two different types of central florets are not ideal, but I like the three-color effect in the guard petals. There is some pink at the base of the petals that doesn't show up well in the shadows on the picture. The same was true of the previous picture.

I will also save seeds from this one, hoping for zinnias that are better than this one. But I am aware that most, if not all, of its progeny will be single "daisies" or otherwise not desirable. But there is the off chance that something really good could come from this one. Fingers crossed.
