Hi Brenda,

This is also a very busy time for me, transitioning from indoor growing to outdoor growing. I have planted only one bed of outdoor zinnias so far, due to our freakish cold weather and cool soil. It has finally germinated fairly well, but only in the cotyledon stage.

I hope your blue does well, even if it isn\'t true blue. Bluish lavenders look good in their own right. And, if you do get a true blue mutant, that would be fantastic. You should be able to make some money off of it, and you would be famous in the zinnia world. I have been teased by blue-lavender zinnias from time to time. At one time I had a sky blue until the sun got to it, and it turned blue-lavender. The GMO people have created blue roses, and eventually they will get around to zinnias. More later.
