EM,

There was a similar zinnia pictured back in the original part of this message thread back on December 1, 2008 @ 11:58 PM.

This attached picture is another similar specimen. If you had the space to grow hundreds of Whirligig zinnias, you should find several specimens that would qualify as seedstock to begin developing the strain. It would probably take several years to purify a quality strain. But the genes for it are there right now in the Whirligig strain.
