Zinnias

Z is for Zinnias. What is there to say about Zinnias except that they are cheerful, come in a whole variety of brilliant and tender colors, an array of forms from neat to shaggy. I love them. Renee’s Garden will show you some of that variety. They are great in the garden and great in bouquets.

The A to Z Challenge is over! I have survived and taken you on a ride through the garden from Apple to Zinnia. I’ve had fun and hope you have too. For the final Z entries click here.

    I enjoyed following you this month. I don’t know why I do not grow, nor have I ever grown, zinnias. Had fun following you this month. I look forward to future gardening posts.

    Betsy – I really enjoyed your blog and will be back. You have roses that aare too tender for me, but I’ll be looking forward to admiring them.
    Denise – I have been so happy to find you and other wonderful bloggers on the A to Z.
    Christy – Zinnias are cheery and now it is time to return to our regular programs.

    Congratulations, Pat! You’ve covered the “quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” territory in a highly illuminating and entertaining fashion. And to think that tomorrow you will embark on a nearly 11-year project with essays pertinent to some 4000 of the Chinese characters you regularly used during your Beijing years. And then what? A series devoted to dry climate plants using a daily does of Egyptian hieroglyphics? Whatever you do, landing on “Zinnias” was a charming way to end a charming series. Happy May Day!
