Hello everyone,
I am now in my indoor zinnia gardening phase. This is a recent picture of some of my home hybrid zinnia seedlings.
I will probably be repotting a few of those to bigger pots in the next week or two. This is a picture of one of my late Fall hybrid zinnias.
It appears somewhat intermediate between my exotic tubular petaled zinnias and my in-work Razzle Dazzle strain. This is a closer view of its petal structure.
As I have mentioned previously, botanically a "flower" is any part of a plant capable of producing a seed. So, technically, each petal of a zinnia is a "flower'. One of my breeding objectives is to make each of those petals look more like a flower.
I will report back here as I make more progress in my indoor zinnia project. Many of my seedlings have some very interesting parentage.
