An update on my indoor zinnia project. This one has an unusual looking bloom.

That picture is not upside down. The zinnia in question had a bent-over stem so that the bloom was hanging down. The female parent of that specimen was a California Giant in my outdoor garden last year. It may or may not have been crossed with something unusual. More later.

I tip my hat to you.


I had a second bloom on a Benary's Giant , do those Canoe shaped flower petals ,, Only a few though , nothing near the extent or color of the picture .
Nice Bloom there Thumbs up
In the Butterfly garden if a plant is not chewed up I feel like a failure
