The zinnias we planted from seed in the garden are starting to bloom! We planted them the first week of May, which means they went from seed to flower in 5 weeks! Pretty impressive. It is also much cheaper, as we filled a 100 sq. ft. area for about $8. You just need to be able to delay gratification in order to wait a few more weeks to have blooming flowers, rather than buying them from the garden center already blooming!

This is Queen Red Lime Zinnia. It has a red center with green outer petals. I can’t wait to see it in full bloom!

This zinnia is called Zowie. It is not as fully double as some of the other varieties, but has a beautiful color.
