The Garden Appreciation Society Week 16 — Link up!

This got late again this week but only because work got totally crazy this week. Really, work? In summer? For the birds, I tell you.

Anyway, welcome to Week 16 of The Garden Appreciation Society. We’re in the home stretch folks so hang with it!

There are very few flowers I grow specifically for cutting. In fact, I can’t think of any other than zinnias. I sort of wish I had a specific cutting garden, because zinnias tend to get a little rangy and probably aren’t the prettiest. All the better to cut them, right?

What amazes me most about zinnias is the variety of colors they come in. I’m particular enamored with the coral and chartreuse ones (that green one is Green Envy, I couldn’t tell you the varieties of any of the others).

  1. Pretty, pretty, pretty. I need to try zinnas.

    I don't see the blue button to link. I might save mine for next week. We are past prime, I am running out of flowers.
    Have a good weekend.

  2. We love Zinnias!! My husband grows rows and rows of them from seed. They are such happy beautiful flowers! He taught the girls early to pick a few, so that more will grow. Can never get tired of them!
