I have seen quite a few zinnia blooms in my time, but I have never seen one like this. Does the submitter, Paul2032, have any comments about his submission? Were seed saved from this, and did they have blooms with the same, or a similar, flower form?

I took this picture among a big planting of Zinnias which were all that color but it was the only one with that form. I doubt that plants grown from it seeds would be like it. I think they would be normal.......the condition is called fasciation and happens in various parts of a variety of plants.

Glorious, Paul. A big enlargement would be wonderful as art.

And a big colorful zinnia of a to you @ZenMan!

That's a form of fasciation.
