I've lurked, entertained and intrigued by many of your posts on breeding zinnias elsewhere, Zenman, just because I adore zinnias but didn't realize how much more they could be adored until I ran into your series. I hadn't checked in recently and I didn't know you were here on ATP, either, and when I saw your results just now I forgot to exhale for a couple of seconds. I realized it's not just the beauty of them, it's that the first one was actually kind of scary--like something I would back slowly away from in my garden. But its offspring have the same features--flaunt them proudly, in fact, and the "regular" zinnia I love is transformed into this extraordinary beauty by them. Just amazing. Thank you for sharing.
