Your green thumb worked very well for you. If I had planted these they would have all died. Yours look very nice.

You and your green thumb! I love zinnias, and they do last and last and last, especially when you pick them and bring them in.

I'm envious. I don't really grow things. The best I can say is I try not to kill anything. Your zinnias are beautiful.

I love zinnias. I've never tried to grow them from seed, and I probably wouldn't be as successful as you were. They're perfect.
