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 :)

    This would make a lovely painting. It almost looks like a painting now. Love the pink bowls with orange cats too :)

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

    My Zinneas are blooming now too. I love the Vivid ones best. It would make a great painting. It does look like one now.

    I love zinnias, but we didn't plant any this year for various reasons. This would make a beautiful painting! xox Pam

    I love any zinnias, but that pink one, the single with the yellow crown~~those were always my favorites!
    I used to grow them in huge rows....oh, I miss them!
    Lovely.

    XXOO~~

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

    Love that cobalt vase!

    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
    ♥♥♥

    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!
