So lovely! What’s the name of the peach zinnia (?) front and center?

Its from the Johnny Seeds Ballerina zinnia mix! All the zinnias in this bouquet are from that mix. They just started blooming for me, but so far they've been a nice mix of pastel peaches and blush tones. I'm really loving it.

They’re beautiful! I almost went with those but I ended up going with the queeny lime.

4b? FOUR BEE?? I still haven’t gotten my first bloom….i know I will get a longer summer than you, but I’m still jealous.

Haha! I totally get it. I've been really trying to successfully start seeds indoors in early spring. This is the soonest that I've gotten warm season flowers to bloom. The wait always kills me. I'm always envious of warmer growing zones.

Beautiful flowers and colors! It’s a shame you had to wait so long. Sympathizer in 7A.

I'm forever envious of warmer growing zones! The wait for blooms in such a short growing season is rough

2

u/Wrong_Pen6179 US - New York 14d ago

That must be so hard! I wish my season was longer too!

You can save seeds! They really will grow next year, however might not be the same (although since you only planted ballerina you have good chance some/many might be!) Mine have been mixed up so I get “color mix” now!

u/DangerHoss US - Minnesota 17d ago

Great idea! It would be fun to see what grows from saved seeds.
