Zinneas for Marianne



I bought a pack of varied zinneas at the local nursery and they have finally bloomed!
I'm not crazy about the yellowish-white ones, but I'm happy there are a few vibrant ones in the bunch.
Because Marianne can't grow these, these are for her!
And the beautiful cloth they're on was a gift from her when she visited.
I think this would make a wonderful painting!
Okay...bye now :)

  2. So pretty, Laurel. At first glance, I thought I saw the flowers as a part of the cloth then my eye refocused. Very pretty.

  12. I also did a double-take,,,to decide which photo was the painting.
    We know of your ability, therefore, we expected it.

  14. Oh wow!!!!!
    Can you believe I thought about zinnia's in the train!!!!!
    And I thought about a post of yours with zinnias for me a while ago and .........here they are again.
    I think one day I will have them. Now this year I am too late but I will try one time to grow them from seed, but I have to do that in April.
    Love the way they look on that table runner...... :)
    Indeed they would make a lovely painting. And i know just the person who could do this perfectly........YOU!

    Thanks for bringing me sunshine!
    Have a nice weekend

  17. Evidently Marianne is not the only one who can't grow these. I planted a whole packet this spring and nothing came up! My Cosmos and Marigolds came up but not the Zinnias! I love these colorful flowers so I will gaze at yours!
