SCButtercup said: Some nice unusual tall zinnias available from peaceseedlings.com. They don't have pictures but ALL their zinnias are amazing.

That link didn't work for me, but I think I found them. Do you have any pictures of their zinnias that you've grown?

Holy crap. Are those safe to handle? I super hope they germinate if for no other reason that to see what you'd name them.

ZenMan said:With regard to the origin of the Zinderellas, I think we can rule out them being selected from either Cupcakes or Candy. Cupcakes and Candy plants are both 30 inches high, while Zinderellas are much taller, at 40 to 50 inches high.

Didn't even consider the heights. Any guesses then?

ZenMan said:Zowies do indeed have pink and orange in the overlapping zone between pink and golden yellow. I have had "conventional" zinnias with approximately the same color combination.

Especially love that third example with the majority of each petal in the pink/orange. Both the color distribution and the form with the little petals around the center and the toothy edges.
