Hi Wes,
Oklahoma is an improved form of the old "Cut and Come Again" strain. Oklahoma was developed by the respected German seed company Benary. The strain won some prizes when it was first introduced. Like its predecessor (Cut-and-Come-Again), it's plant habit is very branched and tends not to be "leggy". I grew the white variety of the strain and, for a cut flower, I thought its stems were a bit short. But I grew them in an uncrowded situation, so there wasn't any pressure on them to become "leggy". As you say, its blooms aren't large. My Oklahomas came from Johnny's Selected Seed, and I can't comment on those from Burpee.

We will be looking forward to your pictures of red Oklahomas, and your further comments.

Cool, thanks for the input!

I'll try them in a few spots to see how they compare to one another and other zinnia varieties. Again, couldn't resist the packaging...
