Hi Jack,

Thanks for sharing. A lot of people would think that was a pretty flower. I'm not usually a fan of single zinnias, but I believe they can look attractive. A lot of daisies are single. Speaking of daisies, their petals frequently have a special look, that is unusual in zinnias. Which is one reason why I would like to breed a strain of zinnias with that petal style.

Part of the "daisy look" is also rather frail narrow petals, somewhat uncharacteristic of zinnias. Zinnia hybrida can "do" a lot of things, many of which we haven't discovered yet (in my opinion).

I tip my hat to you.
