Checking my blooms this eve and here is what I have. While in the two different areas of zinnias, I did a lot of deadheading.

ZM -
#1 & #2 Are blooms from seed I purchased this year from Stokes.
#3, #4 & #5 Are blooms from some of my hybridizing.

I was checking out my scabiosa zinnia planting and found that even if the blooms are on the same plant, they aren't necessarily looking like scabiosa. I saw one where there was a scabiosa type bloom and on the same plant, there was a single bloomer. I was pondering taking out the plants in my scabiosa planting that are singles, but maybe I should leave them and see what the deadheading has in store???

Again, hope rain came to Ottawa, KS?
