ZenMan said:Hello Xiao Long,
You are correct. The most anticipation in growing zinnias is waiting to see what that first bloom will look like. That is even the case with ordinary commercial zinnias, since all zinnias are so variable, but it is especially true with your own home hybridized zinnias. On that first day all you can see is the petal color and petal form, since it takes a zinnia bloom many days to fully form. But, as you say, that first flower is the high point in growing zinnias.

I am curious. Do you grow zinnias where you live? I confess to knowing very little about Indonesia.

Dear Zenman. Indonesia is tropical country where you can grow zinnia all time of the year. I have grown them many years ago. But not recently since i have limit space on my small home which now full of plants everywhere like a jungle.

I always interest about something new on plants and flower. And your work on zinnia tell me so much new thing. Love it. Thats a great job. Wish someday some of your novelties become available on market so everybody can enjoy the beauty too.
