Hello everyone,
The first of my unusual zinnia strains had tubular petals. Don't forget that you can see larger versions of these photos by clicking on them and then hit your F11 key to hide the browser heading material.
Another tubular specimen.
Many of the tubular blooms remind me of fireworks star shells.
Another star shell zinnia bloom.
And another.
This was an actual fireworks star shell I photographed last July Fourth.
Some tubular blooms can look quite conservative and formal.
I will continue to develop my tubular strain of zinnias. My zinnia breeding hobby involves quite a bit of "multli-tasking".
