And don't forget the Zinnia's from seed--Just an hour ago I went on a Butterfly walk through a zinnia garden and we counted nearly a hundred monarchs and several swallowtails.

I think zinnias can be started when temps become a little milder in the springtime. (I am sure others know better how Zinnias can be WSed.)

The short Mexican Sunflower is Tithonia "Fiesta del Sol"--I bought the seed from Johnny's Selected Seed. I notice Diane's Seed offers a yellow version called Aztec Sun, both of them are around 2 feet tall. Fiesta was an AAS Award Winner in 2000.

I'll see if I can collect some seeds from 'Fiesta' if anyone is interested (since I see they are quite pricey).
