But didn’t it last well! 💗

Yes and I now have one on a different plant that’s just opening up!! 🙄 @kez001uk

@bluefox23 🤣 they never stop! One goes, another comes 😛 it’s a good problem to have 😉

That’s true!! 😊 @kez001uk

#zinnia #sprite flower being nibbled away! 01/10/19

These #zinnia #sprite flowers are so small, probably no bigger than a £1 coin! Certainly a bit different to the giant ones I had last year! 16/09/19

Adorable though 💖

Still cute though ....💗💛💗

Yes they are @kez001uk @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom Next year, I need to plant a group of them together to be more effective I think.

@bluefox23 a little zinnia colony would be lovely 😍

Hoping I get a better germination rate next year, else the colony will be quite small! 😂 @kez001uk

@bluefox23 🤣😂🤣

Another #zinnia #sprite flower opened and the same pink. I love pink but it’s a shame there’s not much variety! Photobombing #french-marigold #safarimix 12/09/19

Is this the pale one colouring up?

@kez001uk yes it’s the same one Kerry!! 😳😊

@bluefox23 it’s changed so much 😍

@kez001uk I know! Was disappointed with its wishy-washy appearance last week but it’s improved now!!

My first #zinnia #sprite flower it's very small and slowly getting pinker. Not sure how many more flowers I'll get. These have been disappointing. Poor germination rate and very slow growth. 03/09/19

Soooo cute🥰

Lovely flower Alison hopefully they'll do better for you next year

Thanks @kez001uk it’s gone pinker now!

Thanks @alan1111 Think I’ll have to sow them earlier next year and hope they do better!

@bluefox23 the lighter ones do seem to go through some colour changes. Interesting little things 💕

I start mine early March and they do fine. I don't post pictures of mine because my phone can't handle the colours

I have a #zinnia #sprite flower on the way 😁 18/08/19

Yay 😁

Record of where I’ve planted my only #zinnia #sprite seedlings. Very disappointed with poor germination of these. NB plastic cutlery to stop animals digging up the pots. 22/06/19

05/05/19 Sorry cataloguing #seedling progress #grownfromseed #zinnia #sprite

More seeds sown 12/04/19

Good to see you noted the planting time and flowering time 😊 I just bought these zinnia seeds and was wondering if sowing them in mid-April would be too late. I'll wait until mid-April as they need plenty of light and plenty of warmth to grow well.

Yeah I keep referring back to old posts to check dates. Definitely a useful record! @ublaszko

Me too! 👍👍

cataloguing #zinnia #sprite seeds actually sown 26/03/19

Mine geminated in 1 day in a heated propagater 😲

Ooh! I was going to leave them a day or two before I checked them (if I could manage resisting the urge!) but I might have to check today now!! 😂 mind you mine are in my (cold? at night) plastic greenhouse 🤷🏼‍♀️ @angiecrazycatlady

@angiecrazycatlady just went to check them and realised I haven’t sown these yet!! 😂😂😂
