Perfect…

They deserve to be shown off.

they are a flower with attitude…

borderline garish at times!

Not demure or understated,

they definitely have something to say…

    Thank you, thank you. Zinnias are one of my favorites!! The (insert your favorite bleep) squirrels eat mine. And the geraniums. And my daughter’s watermelon. Not my begonias. yet.

    You have the boldest, most colorful zinnias! Your photos make a nice study–thanks!

    When I lived in Loganville, I had a front flower bed that I had seeded with zinnias. I never had to re-seed again. I would let them just replant themselves. I loved it every spring/summer, I would have zinnias overflowing in that bed. The mail-lady even took time one day to come down my driveway to tell me how much she loved looking at them every day.

    So, yeah, zinnias are da bomb! Thanks for the pretty pics. (Starting to wonder if I can make a new zinnia bed at this darn house.)

    Beautiful! I wonder if zinnias grow in the winter here?

    Very pretty!

    I was going to take pictures of the gladiolas finally in bloom, but of course they did it during the 100+ sweep we had and I missed them all. See, that’s when they bloom in this part of the country – late summer. ;-)

    They also have aggressively sturdy stems, which I dislike. Your flowers are awesome, though.

    Zinnia colors are so great aren’t they? You just have to be cheered when you see them.
