I have been crossing and re-crossing my zinnias for four years, purely as hobby, and you can get some interesting results that way. There is a message thread called It can be fun to breed your own zinnias over in the Hybridizers forum. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/hybridizers/all/ This is one of my hand-pollinated hybrids that bloomed recently. It has large flowered heritage from Burpee Hybrids and two-toned genes from Whirligig. I like this combined effect and I am using it as one of my current "breeder" zinnias. Which means I will self it, pollinate it with other good zinnias, and save seeds from it for further zinnia breeding fun. ZM |
