Haha. It's a little stinkbug that lives in my house. They come in for the winter but it has been 60° so they woke up and visited my flowers.

As my plan-of-three zinnia grows it is distorting somewhat. You can see how the third leaf grows in smaller the further up the branch it is. Sometimes the third leaf at any given spot is barely visible.

You can also see how flower buds form on the underside of leaves.

I had to use flash for that picture because there was no way to get adequate l light on the bottom of the leaf. But it's the same part of the plant in both pictures, just different sides.
Keep going!
