Zinnias


One of my favorite summer flowers is the Zinnia. We planted
several rows of Zinnias in our garden this year. They're so easy
to grow and the butterflies love them, so that's an added bonus!

The Earth Laughs in Flowers ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


The name of the genus derives from the German botanist
Johann Gottfried Zinn (1727–1759).



Each flower is a soul opening out to nature.
~ Gerald De Nerval
