Okay, I know this is an old thread, but some of you posters are still active. So I have a question about zinnia seed saving?

If you plant a plot of zinnias that are OP but a mix of colors, will the saved seeds be a repeat mix of the same colors, or will the colors be "muddied" from cross pollination? I am thinking of Benary Giants mixed, which I believe is OP.

The pick is from last year's garden. I thought it was Benary Giant Pink, but after I looked at the enlargement of the thumbnail I think it's Double Click. Just wanted to "decorate my page."

Thanks,
