The skyflower is so pretty with that white edge around it. You certainly have a lot of different zinnias. Those hibiscus are so showy, and I like your Rudbeckia and the rest of the blooms as well.

All these zinnias are self-seeded volunteers. When I was a kid, we planted lots of these & let them cross-polinate to get funky new ones. Nothing that extreme this year, but still some fun colors!

Those are some beautiful colors, Wt. I love the Sky plant - does it start outdoors by seed? Those Zinnias are glorious and the Hibiscus too. My Perennial Hib is still blooming. Is that what yours are too? Keep up the good work.

The red one w/ the thinner petals is a perennial hibiscus - dies down to the ground in Winter & comes back in Spring. The pink one is a tropical, so it comes indoors in Winter.
