The zinnia is one of the easiest flowers to grow.
Here are some blooms from my Ozark garden.
My grandmother always had them growing in her garden and now I grow them in her memory.
Do you grow this flower? Would you show me your blooms?

fletamae, those are some beautiful zinnia's, Your grandmother would be proud:)

I also grow Zinnia's every year but mine are not yet blooming. Yes they are so easy to grow from seed and come in so many different colors and shapes . And they just keep blooming their little heads off until a very hard frost hit's them. I try to grow plenty enough so I can cut some for vases inside, but still have enough to keep blooming outside. If I can I will try to post some pic's from last year, although I dont think I have any close up shot's. Yours are fantastic. Thank's for the pic's!:)

I tried to grow zinnias from seeds, but my lack of watering them put a quick end to that! I ended up buying some though and they have proven to thrive fairly easily!

I love your pictures- you must have a great camera!!

What beautiful flowers!

My grandmother always had zinnias growing, also. Mine didn't get planted this year, due to the forest fires we are having here.

Thank you for sharing yours, though; you did a great job capturing them, and the butterfly! :happy_flower
