Sunday Photo - Zinnias


My garden bouquet of Zinnias!


Imagine one of Cicely Mary Barker's fairies living among the Zinnias.



THE SONG OF
THE ZINNIA FAIRY

Z for Zinnias, pink or red;
See them in the flower-bed,
Copper, orange, all aglow;
Making such a stately show.

I, their fairy, say Good-bye,
For the last of all am I.
Now the Alphabet is said
All the way from A to Z.

  2. Zinnia are one of my favorite flowers. I used to plant them every year with my daughter from the time she was two until her teenage years... we saved flower seeds from year to year and planted them...
    We finally lost the seeds and didn't plant one year. That was the end of that.

    But! I planted some with her daughter this year!
    always fun!

  5. I love to grow zinnias. They seem to handle the heat so much better than most things.
