Thanks ladies for your kind words. I like zinnias because of their dependability, beauty and attraction to bees and butterflies. If you want butterflies plant some zinnias. The photo I used for this banner was taken August 18, 2019 when the blooms were at their peak. This year they lasted well into October providing color and food for many insects. Here are some photos of the zinnia patch. The banner was taken from the first one. The other pictures illustrate some colors and details.
Bold Red
An Orange Blend
A Golden Yellow
I couldn't resist another butterfly!
