I love Zinnias. Always have.
Hard not to feel happy when you have a bouquet of these beauties sitting in the middle of the room.
Apparently the nut doesn't fall very far from the tree. My daughter loves zinnias too. Here she is picking out a bunch at the farmers market.
Aren't the colors gorgeous?
A few zinnias still holding on half way through autumn.
Just an amazing little flower!
Oooooooo, I love these happy little flowers. They DO make you smile.

Weeee!!! I love Zinnias too. I have lots of them in my garden now. They're easy to care and with many varieties. But i don't have some of those in your photos.
ReplyDeleteThe pink flower with butterfly on my profile picture is Zinnia.
Oh, you have no idea how much I needed to see these pretty flowers today. All I see is snow, snow and more snow. Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteZinnia flowers are just so beautiful... they are one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteHappy day!
Your favorite things are some of my favorites too. I love the 'hot' colours of zinnias - after our damp, grey winters I crave the electric yellows and fuschias of the summer garden.
ReplyDeleteI too have a weakness for blue and white china, and recently for pink and white - addiction really!
I love zinnias too. My dad used to have the most beautiful big zinnias. Have a nice weekend! Twyla
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the blog about the zinnas. When I young I used to pull the petals off of the red ones and pretend they were long fingernails.
ReplyDeleteZinnas were about the only thing that grew in central Kansas without water.
Cooee from Downunder, Hi Gayle have just stumbled over your blog (didn't hurt a bit either!). I am another zinnia lover and have just been watering my seedlings, which are growing nicely . I love their beautiful clear colours .,I remember my mum growing them when I was bout 9 or 10 and she would cut a huge bunch for me, wrap them in newspaper and I would take them to school for my teacher, feeling quite proud of these beautiful flowers. Lovely photos
