Zinnia Update

You might remember that this Spring I started 2 different varieties of Zinnias from seed - "Hot Crayon Colors" and "Berry Basket". After getting off to a bit of a slow start, the plants have really come on. They have been blooming now for about 2+ weeks. This is the 3rd year in a row that I have planted "Hot Crayon Colors" and this year I have a new color blooming in the mix. It is a great rusty, orange color. It has more brown in it than the bloom pictured above shows. It is such a unique color for any flower and fits so well with the colors of Fall. I am think about trying to save some seed from it for next year.
