Hi Brenda,

Apologies for the delay in responding. You have some nice zinnias. Are those ribbons that you are using to mark your blooms? That last one is a bit of a mystery. Something could have bitten it when it was young, or maybe it did just grow that way.

That second one has some interestingly curled petals. A few are curled in a way that I haven't seen before. I would save seeds from that one to see it its progeny have some interesting petals. The first and third and the yellow one up above would make good females for cross pollinating, because they aren't "throwing pollen". And they have nice full blooms.

These pictures are some of my current breeders.
