I grew these Zinnia from seeds someone sent me. They are Benarys Giant Coral and I love them. I will have to be sure and save some more seeds this fall! Woo hoo got the pic on!!

Oh, that's pretty! :cool: No Zinnias for me this year. I never got around to sowing my seeds.

Nice color! I am so often dissapointed by the actual colors of zinnias. They always seem to end up that garish pink or an orange. THis year I picked out the reddest red I could find only to have them flower a sort of orangey-red. :(
