It can be fun to breed your own zinnias - Part 6

Hello everyone,

Not much activity here in this forum. I am currently very busy with my zinnia hobby. These are a couple of my current favorites.

Hello again everyone,

Still not much activity here in the forum. I am currently busy with the indoor phase of my zinnia breeding hobby. I am interested in the "skinny tube petals" variants.

ZM

Interesting. Florists would love them.

Hi Loretta,

I assume you are the same LorettaNJ over at the National Gardening Association. Things are kind of slow here, particularly in this Hybridizers forum. That is a little surprising to me since this Hybridizers forum is one of the "open" forums that don't require a paid membership in Dave's Garden to participate. My subscription has lapsed, although I will probably renew it sometime next year. I will show a few more of my home hybridized zinnia photos.

More later,

ZM

Merry Christmas, ZM! Yes, it is me. I only check in here occasionally now. I'm glad I did today as your blooms get more and more beautiful every year.

Evelyn, so nice to se you post. Visit us on Back Porch.

Evelyn we moved to Garden.org. In the Sandbox under DG rescue or something like that.

Hi everyone,
I guess we all have pretty much moved to Garden.org. In real life, I am moving from a farmhouse to a "city" apartment. (The owner wants to sell this place.) My zinnia breeding will be very much scaled back if any at all. These closed-end tubular specimens are some that caught my eye in the last year or so. I am wondering if I will be able to grow zinnias in an apartment. I plan to give it a try.

ZM, that fourth photo is fantastic. I hope you can keep your seed supply fresh while you wait for new gardening opportunity.

ZM ~ We are missing you. How are you settling in your new apartment? I am sorry that you are giving up your zinnia breeding.

See you in the Annuals Forum.👍Evelyn🌼🌼🌼

Hi Evelyn,

I am thinking about growing a few zinnias here in the apartment, but there isn't much room here, inside or outside. I had essentially unlimited space in the farm garden, but most people don't have that, and it is only fair that I join the ranks of "most people". See you over at Garden.org.
