There are many dozens of varieties of zinnias, perhaps hundreds. I don't know if anyone has had the patience to count. The number of different crosses you could make, starting with readily available commercial varieties, is astronomical.

I have had several bicolor zinnias with whitish picotee tips, but this pictured specimen reverses that effect by having dark pink colored tips.
