I must confess that I just bought three one gallon pots of Zinnias a week ago, and managed to get them planted before they bloomed this morning.
I have always thought of Zinnias as the quintessential summer flower...and this year they have appeared to me though I usually plant them each year, usually from seed. This year the time got away from me, and I was very lucky to find these, thanks to the Barber Family Farm booth at the Clearlake Friday Night Farmer's Market!
