Hi all,

The outdoor season is winding down for my zinnias, but they have "dodged the bullet" for three different nights in which a 31 degree low was predicted. Only once was that temperature actually reached. They're not frozen yet, but with all this cold weather, their life processes are very slowed. This is a picture of a young bloom that appeared a few weeks ago. Young blooms frequently show bicolor effects that fill in as the bloom matures.
