"That last zinnia you posted is awesome!"

I liked it too, and was distressed that it was in serious jeopardy of being destroyed by a freakishly early frost. It is highly doubtful that any pollination I do now will result in viable seed, because it is so cold. So I took cuttings from it and several other "choice" zinnias. This is a picture of some of my recent zinnia cuttings, still under their humidity domes. Incidentally, I noticed that you have been taking cuttings from your echinaceas. I doubt that many gardeners even know that you can do that.
