| Not sure if you remember, but I complained two years in a row that blooms from packs of Candy Cane (red/white striped) zinnias did not fulfill. Last year I got mostly solid reds. I saved seed last Fall, labeled it "Red Zinnia", planted them this late Spring. Here's the results. Unusual, but pretty. The photos are a bit blurry.

| Love it!! Looks gorgeously bizarre! Did you get many comments on it? I hope someday I'll find the time to grow annuals. |

They are soo cute! I love Zinnia's of all kinds and always try to have some every summer. The goldfinches love the seeds too so they are great even when the flowers fade.

| I was wondering how seeds from the candy canes would do. I planted seeds this spring, some blooms were good, others were just orange zinnias. I'll save some seeds & see what happens. |
