First of the Zinnias 2010

Filed under Gardening in zone 5b, Photography {13 comments}




This may just be my favorite zinnia ever! I’m loving the pink in the middle of the orange blooms.


The first of the zinnias have arrived just in time for canning season. The peaceful display of elegant tones of color would make anyone stop and take a breath. I’m loving what they have provided for me as I take a moment to capture the arrival of these magnificent blooms with my camera.

Please take a moment to enjoy a short video of some of the other zinnias that have arrived that I have uploaded onto my BGgardenLive Youtube Channel. IF you have a channel please leave me a comment so I can follow your shares.


And the really cool thing about the Zinnias in early August: It is only the beginning of a spectacular show in the garden.

Signs of more to come.........


Enjoy your Friday and don’t forget to ‘flaunt it’. I am heading out to do some enjoyable weeding in the middle of those zinnias. I hope you find your peace today as well. Happy Growing – Bren

    Hi Bren,

      YES… for sure on the chatting Tootsie :-) Nothing like the Real Deal! :-) ((HUGS))
      NOW, I wonder why the zinnias don’t work for you? Does it get hot and dry enough? IT seems they love it dry and HOT!
