sheepdog 10 Report post Posted July 12, 2013 In a post about my garden last year, http://forums.xisto.com/topic/78436-this-year/ I mentioned an experiment I was planning on doing this year so wanted to follow up on that. I ended up with 2 exceptionally beautiful Zinna blooms last year, one is described on the post linked above, I'll post the picture of the other bloom here on this post if I can. Pictures really don't do it justice, it's a beautiful shade of bright pink fading to purple. I was very careful in saving these 2 blooms, dryed them seperatly and carefully shelled them and put them in different jars to save until this year. I wanted to find out if Zinna's breed true to color. I would of really liked to have more blooms like these two. But unfortunatly, this is not the case. I planted the seed from each flower into two different tubs and the pictures below are the flowers I got this year. Oh well, now I know. Never know until you try!

sheepdog 10 Report post Posted July 12, 2013 WEll, I got the picture of the original flower from last year to attach to the topic, but not the 2 pictures of the results that grew this year, will try this again. As you can see, there are no flowers in this years growth that even faintly resemble the two parent flowers. Shucks. Oh well can't win them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
