Zinnia 'Queeny Lime with Blotch'

The whole Queeny series are just lovely!

Dang, that is cute--and a nice banner too
I didn't even know there was a 'Queeny' series--I'll have to check it out

Great banner Casey!

Love the banner, Casey. I'll be searching for it as well.

Gorgeous banner Casey!

Beautiful banner Casey. I've not grown that particular zinnia before. Have you noticed the goldfinches eating the flower petals of your zinnias, yet? They do here and I'm happy to share my zinnias with them.

Very nice banner, Casey!

What a wonderful banner, such a cheery site to awake to! Great flower and photographer!

We are a zinnia "family" and would never miss a summer without them in the gardens. Now that I know there is a "queeny" series we will be sure to look for some next year. They are tempting with that pink center and the creamy yellow petals which makes a very nice banner. Well done Casey.

I found some here:

Oh, that's nice, Casey!
Really like the soft focus & colors.

"Ahem, ahem".....the whole image?

Thanks pirl; they are nice.

Love the color of that zinnia!

Ah, thank you so much everyone!!

Queen Lime with Blotch and Queen Lime Green from Swallowtail Gardens:

Queeny Red Lime and Queeny Orange Lime from Select Seeds:

They blend together so well and are massive flower producers. I bought a bunch of dahlias too, but really love the zinnias this year. Definitely recommend!

Here are most of the varieties I purchased. Have a few single chartreuse and a single "red" (actually pink) too.



I will send a proper to all this evening!!

Casey,
thanks for the links & pics!
Going ga-ga over these zinnies!

Looks like it's not too late to sow some seeds.
Getting some asap.

ps- still hope you'll post the whole image of the banner.

Dirt, Arlene, Marilyn, Leon - I just adore these, and hopefully you will too if you add them to your gardens. Quite a few vendors sell them now. I believe Red Lime came out first and always sold out before I had a chance to order. I am glad I waited. They really do look lovely together.

This one is Queen Lime with Blotch. I've also seen it sold by another seller as Raspberry Limeade. (If it's not the same one it's really close!)

Marilyn - I haven't noticed the goldfinches eating them yet, but they have been dining on the verbena bonariensis which is planted throughout the bed. I was deadheading in the beginning to keep them flowering, but will start to backoff so I can collect seeds for next year.

Thank you Leslie, me too.

Cal - here ya go!

Thanks for posting the whole image, Casey!

I ordered a bunch from SwallowTail Garden Seeds....what a great seed source!
https://www.swallowtailgardens...

Sometimes my zinnies grow great, other times they start strong, then the top wilts.
But going to try for a late summer bloom with this new batch.

@greenappleagnes Casey,

Thank you for posting the beautiful full size pic, the other beautiful pic (of 8 pics), the links and the variety names.

Goldfinches eat the dried cones of the coneflowers also, so if you grow those, leave them for them or at least some of them.

re: goldfinches........love to shred our sunflower leaves.

Cal, I planted Benary's Giant Lime and Green Envy for years without success, but these germinated and the plants are strong. I started the seeds indoors. All had great germination rates except one, though I can't recall which one. (Only 2 of 6 germinated.) The rest either all 6 or 5 of 6 germinated.

This was the first year ordering from Swallowtail. They do have some great varieties. I also ordered quite a few pansies from them and another vendor. First time attempting pansies from seed.

Marilyn, your welcome! And thank you for the acorns!! I haven't been as good about deadheading the Echinacea, so there's is quite a buffet waiting for them! Or maybe they've found those already?
