Steven,

"Would it be possible to cross my Zinnia haageana 'Persian Carpet' with my Yellow Cactus flowered Zinnia?"

It might be. I tried it a couple of months ago indoors, using the dwarf form of Persian Carpet called Aztec Sunset, and I didn't get any seed set at all. But one of the participants in the zinnia breeding threads over at the GardenWeb Annuals forum may have succeeded. I am going to try again, because I think some very interesting results could come from interspecific crosses like that. Here is a picture of the Aztec Sunset that I failed with.
