This is the time of year when the Zinnias are the star of the flower garden- all different shapes, sizes, colors and varieties. Usually they are covered with butterflies but I have not seen as many this year as in past years. Not sure why. Maybe I am just not outside at the same time they are flying by.
I love Zinnias!
I never realized there is such a variety of zinnias. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous rich colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulously bright and cheerful display!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a delight to wander through your zinnia garden. They are my favorite flower. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love zinnias too. They are so prolific and colorful all season.
ReplyDeleteI love zinnias in a cut bouquet, they last so long! Gorgeous pics.
ReplyDeleteOH me too! Zinnias in all their intense colorful glory! And I love the quilt in your last post too, also great colors!
ReplyDeleteThose are just beautiful, Cathy! I never realized how pretty zinnias could be until I saw the zinnia garden where my mom lives. Next year I'm going to plant some!
ReplyDeleteReally love looking at your garden.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your zinnias! I may have to try growing some next year! :)
ReplyDeleteI adore zinnias! I planted seeds for 4 kinds this year. They grew to 8" and the rabbits buzz sawed them down. They have never been as destructive as this year. If I would have known, I would have fenced the zinnias in as I love them until the frost. Tried every kind of spray, they think it is a condiment. Thank you for the gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteEvery year I buy zinnia seeds and every year I never get them planted. The last two years I bought half flats of zinnias from the scouts, but they were a dwarf variety, and while they flowered prolifically, the stems were too short to use them as cut flowers. I did get one six pack of tall ones planted this year and they are blooming now.
