I cannot believe I still have Zinnias blooming - they have been gorgeous the entire summer. And that's not the best part - these were "volunteer" seedlings. I guess once the frost hit last fall and all the flowers died, some seeds fell and were buried underneath the bark that I had surrounding the flower beds. And even better - two summers ago when I first planted these - it was just one pack of seeds that I picked up at the Family Dollar - 5 Pks for $1.....WOW - unbelievable - these are GIANT flowers - they are about 5 inches in diameter. I don't have a green thumb either - in fact I have been known to send a perfectly healthy hearty lovely plant or flower to an untimely death. The point I am making here is - get these for next year - they will grow themselves - you don't have to do anything - and you might get the added bonus of having some the following year. This is my kind of flower garden.

I have noticed so many things still blooming too.. It's amazing and welcomed.
I love that color pink!!
That's a gorgeous flower. I need to remember to plant those next year. They make great cut flowers for bouquets too!
Thanks for stopping by this morning. We voted just before 10:00 A.M. and we walked right in and voted.
We didn't even wait for one person. However, I was out earlier and there were long lines. Regardless of the outcome we just have to keep doing the right things and praying that others will follow.(I'm typing this on Charlotte's computer so her name and picture will come up. Clif).
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. I just noticed my wife's comment and she mentioned that we had just been to vote. My, you haven't posted in a while, have you? I guess you are not retired, like we are.LOL Have a great week.
