    I grew a few flats of Zinnia from seed this spring, and this unique bloom is one of them. I love it!
    Has anyone ever seen a Zinnia like this before?

    I, for one, haven't Netty. I wish I had some like that in my garden. It's a real beauty with those different coloured petals. Are you going to give it a special name?

    I hadn't thought about that Eileen! I did, however, decide to save some seeds and see what kind of interesting bloom I get next year!

    That's a pretty one Netty. It can't decide what color it wants to be.

    Wow... that's so pretty! Reminds me of a sno-cone of different flavors.

    An interesting color. I wonder if the seeds will be true. It might be worth a try.

    What a gorgeous thing, Netty. Are you planning to collect the seeds? If I saw those seeds, I would want to try them myself.

    I have seen zinnias with multiple layers of petals like this. I have not see zinnias with these colors before.
