Betsy's Zinnias

When Betsy sent this photo she had taken of her gorgeous Thanksgiving bouquet of Zinnias, I was absolutely awed. She surprised me with her Borrego Hollyhocks, which I thought would never grow here. I always thought of Zinnias as summer flowers. Another surprise! I have grown many zinnias during the summer months but never thought of planting them later. They are strong, attractive flowers which are perfect for cutting.

It is great fun to be inventive and try to grow varieties you especially like...it makes you feel SO GOOD when you get results like those seen in the photo!
