Aren’t these pretty? They’re an adorable, dwarf variety that I fell in love with this year. I bought the plants back in the spring and they have bloomed endlessly for months. They remind me of the David Bowie song, “The Prettiest Star.” I think of it whenever I deadhead them.

I have some growing in a 70’s era flour cannister on the roof and some more in ground over at the community garden. Both sets are doing equally well. Go little zinnias!
