The Zinna's


I suppose we'll be saying 'buh-bye' to the flowers soon as we're now enjoying a chill in the air.
This was my Zinna patch this year.


I love Zinna's.
These are Persian Carpet Zinna's from Bakers Creek.

They are described as a "stunning....brilliant heirloom..."


They are pretty, but I can't say they took my breath away! I was expecting BIG Zinna's. I suppose if I would have paid more attention to their description, I would have noticed they grow to about a 2" diameter. They were plentiful though, and made a nice flower patch.


I do have some seeds left over so I'll throw them somewhere next season.
Anyone have a favorite variety Zinna? Share!

Oh yes, and PS, Happy 3rd Wedding Anniversary to my Hubby :) Nothing special going on! Just picking apples and picking more apples! We lead an exciting life - yes, I know! What, *thinking....* it is 3 years, right? Yes, 3 years.
