I enjoyed walking out early each morning to see who had spent the night on my tall zinnias
and a lizard had many nights made his home in the zinnias and caught insects as it nestled into the petals of a pink zinnia

the orange zinnia on the left side has a tiny cute insect that I captured in one of the photos
it made me smile as I could not see it until I had downloaded it on my laptop!

Butterflys came some I had never seen before to the zinnias and also some hummingbirds
I hope you enjoy the memories of my zinnias that bloomed five months! Just removed
them from the pots today on Sept 27, 2021

Fantastic! Zinnias have such wide appeal.

I agree

My Dad said the hummingbirds were always on the zinnias and I didn't believe him. I've never seen a hummingbird on my zinnias. Now there's photo proof that the hummers like zinnias!
