Zinnia Magic 1-2-3
09/26/2019
One of my favorite flowers in my fall garden is the hard-working zinnia. It's just lovely . . . and magical at every stage of bloom.
First, as a bud . . .
Then, as it opens . . .
And, finally, in full bloom. . .
Flowers are magical, aren't they?

My aunt was quite a gardener, but she always said that Zinnias were her favorite. Love your pictures.

The bud is almost prettier than the flower.
Living in Florida, I grew some exotics. They never cease to amaze. My favorite was my black Bat Plant. Check it out online sometime. Perfectly spooky for a fall blooming flower.

Zinnia's are truly a work horse and their blooms last so long - and mine are still going strong in the end of September!!

For all the things that technology can do, it's never as amazing as what nature can do!

Flowers are magical. I also love a zinnia. I save seeds from year to year and this year none of them germinated. Next year I'll start with a new batch of seeds. Do seed wear out? Maybe the rain just washed them away - who knows. Love the Friday photo too.
