In grandmother's garden there were always Zinnias. Mostly tall and waving in the fall breezes. I have not had such luck a my rabbits love baby zinnias in spring and early summer and eat them down to the ground. This year I had a Great Horned Owl which made all the difference! The nights get down into the 40s F but my zinnias still hang around to feed the insects.
There was a bumble bee in my kitchen this week. Do not ask me how it got there but it was holding still and probably near death. I picked it up carefully and took it back outside. They are endangered and I was sad to find it struggling for survival. Wish there had been a zinnia for me to place it on.
ReplyDeleteMother awoke my Zinnia enthusiasms. I love those flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat the beautiful 'Zinnia' images, I love them.
