April 12, 2010

I have a personal fondness for this old-fashioned flower. Its delicate fragrance takes me back to when I was a young girl spending many hours in the garden.

Hi Sue,
Keeping the weeds down is always a plus!
Zinnias are beautiful too and they are pollinator magnets!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the article.
