Hi guys,

Well, I guess I am getting older. And forgetful. My star-tooth-ended tubular petals reminded me at the very first of the Gaillardia puchella variety "Razzle Dazzle" and I mentioned that earlier in this message string. At that time, I referred to my tubular petal specimens that had toothy petal ends as "Razzle Dazzles," and I will continue that. These are some of my Razzle Dazzle zinnia photos:

I think the Razzle Dazzle zinnias could be improved quite a lot with significantly larger and fuller blooms. I like to include them in cross pollinations, even when that requires some "surgery". More later. Thumbs up

I tip my hat to you.
