Zinnia's by Emilie


These are the Zinnia's that Emilie planted at the end of her day-care school year. I'm not sure how many seeds she planted but 4 emerged from the plastic cup that she planted them in. We kept them in the kitchen widow till they got big enough to be transplanted into pots of their own.

Well, here they are today planted in the ground; 4 mature plants with beautiful flowers all doing just fine. They've joined the other plants around the pool, added some nice colors to the area and nourishment for the bees and butterflies.

Here is an interesting one- notice the three different colors, how they're layered and how it gradually changes from top to bottom and visa-versa.

These actually where my Mother's day gift from her. She did a great job planting them and caring for them at pre school before bringing them home in May.
