I was hoping you would say that! I'll have to do it then but they will be the usual fare. Thank You!

The usual fare can sometimes surprise you. This is a beginning-to-bloom Burpeeana from Stokes.

The petals have an unusual light border that looks like an outline around the petal. I like that effect, and I will save seeds from it for that reason. I think it would be neat to have a whole strain of zinnias in all colors with that outlined-petals effect. The "usual fare" can sometimes have some subtle differences that make them a bit unusual. I hope you will post some pictures of your usual fare zinnias. Be on the lookout for slightly unusual effects. Usual fare zinnias can look nice, and occasionally surprise you.

I tip my hat to you.
