All summer I've been passing by a McDonald's that has the most incredible RED zinnia-like
flowers or really short stems. But the
flowers are huge and just full of petals. Tuesday while I was out walking in the rain without a coat I saw that the blooms were dead and no one had dead headed them. So I took one
flower head. And the
seeds are just like the zinnia
seeds. My question is are there any short stemmed but big
flower varieties of zinnia? Or are they some closely related type of
flower? They are beautiful and I hope to grow at least one cluster next year.
