I noticed that we have a database entry for "Carousel" and one for "Carousel mix." I think they should be the same ("Carousel mix") because there is not a single form/color/shape of flower known as just "Carousel" so far as I know (and I've been growing this for years).

@ZenMan, do you know if these are in fact the same varieties?

Zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Carousel Mix')

Thank you. I wasn't sure how to link those directly.

Jack, just copy and paste the URL address when on any database entry page and it will create an automatic clickable link.

I'm tending to agree with @Jai_Ganesha regarding these two database entries:


Zinnia (Zinnia elegans 'Carousel Mix')

When doing a google search I could find no reference for a cultivar by the name of 'Carousel' but did find a few references for 'Carousel Mix' with the following descriptions:

~ Yellow/Red Whirligig type; inner petal shades of red with tips of yellow, bronze, white.

~ Zinnia Carousel Mixed, a carnival of color and patterns.

~ Whirligig - Bright Colors, Festive Patterns.

~ Carousel Mix Zinnia; bicolor shades of pink, yellow, orange, red, purple, and white

When doing a google search for: Zinnia Carousel, the following sites came up listing it as Carousel Mix or Carousel Mixed:

Carousel mixed zinnias are an old variety going back decades.

Either name would be correct, but not both because using both in the database means that it's two different varieties.

Moved the single photo over to the Mix entry and deleted the other one.
