Hello All,

I have continued to get variations on the tubular petaled zinnias.

That one reminds me a bit of some undersea plant. This is another tubular specimen, whose petals end with a "flower" composed of very narrow tubes.

This is a closer view to show the narrow petal ends curved details.

That bloom reminded me of a thistle bloom.
I am currently "perfecting" my indoor zinnia growing techniques, by experimenting with Oxine. Oxine is interesting stuff and has some ingenious chemistry. Thumbs up

I tip my hat to you.
