I think the coloration on the May 6 zinnia picture came from the male parent, which had a remarkable tricolor with purple-plum colored petal tips suffused to orange with yellow at the petal base. The flower form was an informal cactus style with some interesting shapes at the petal tips. And the flower was big, well over 6 inches in diameter, depending on how you measured it.
