Zinnias

My first zinnia seedling. Not impressed but I'll take it because it's from seed. Our weather is brutal and humid like the tropics. Next week worse with temperatures to reach 100 degrees and a feel like temperature over that.

My first tiny patch of zinnias. Room for improvement next summer but I'm happy with them.

I miss the white snowball color.

The one little cosmos stays in bloom if deadheaded.

Nicotiana

Second zinnia to bloom is a little bit larger.

First tiny sunflower. I didn't plant dwarfs, but this one is.

The queen. On a 4-day visit to granny while mom is out of town. She thinks she's the queen. The castle can only have 1 queen and of course that's me.
