Zenman. That was more like providing an encyclopedia, than fleshing out.
I surmised some of that, but you really clued me in. Thanks!!
Those are interesting pics. Would never have guessed Zinnia.
I also did not know that you could plant Green Zinnia seeds. Fascinating.
I do have some interest in Zinnias and sow a bed 3 x 12 feet each year - the taller varieties.
BTW - we are apparently fairly close - I am in St. Joe MO.
thanks again
