Fertilizer Friday

Fertilizer Friday is hosted by Tootsie Time http://www.tootsietime.com/ . This week I have a lot to flaunt. I have to admit that I'm a bit obsessed with my zinnias this year, while the heat and the draught have negatively affected just about everything else, they have been spectacular!

Above, a living bouquet of 'New Burpee Hybrids' cactus zinnia, that turned out in a glorious blend of sunset shades.

As always, you can click on any photo to enlarge it. I hope you enjoyed these blooms.

  3. Your zinnias are just so pretty. I really like the Peter Pan pink. They are real work horses in the garden now with the heat on.

  7. Thanks for all the compliments! Getting out before 6am to water seems to have paid off. Now if I could only figure out how to photograph the color red...
