DAMN IT!! #frost #zinnia #zinnias

It looks so pretty lightly frosted but I know how you feel. A few of our annuals are showing a bit of frost damage but only in certain parts of our garden. The rest of the week is warm sunny temps in the high 70βs to low 80βs with night temps of 46 to 50F.

Was it forecast Tina or were you caught out....

It was forecasted Elaine but we were right on the cusp of a freeze, not a total 3 degrees below freezing, I had everything I could possibly cover, covered but that only helps with a light frost @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Oh dear not good Tina...hope you havenβt lost youβre beautiful zinnias...🤞🏼🤞🏼

I was able to cover 1/2 of a very long row, we'll see how bad it is when I get home.... @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Another 2 nights of covering plants to escape the #frost especially the row of #zinnias still alot of insects still trying to feed and way too early to lose them #honeybee #bees #bee #insect #insects #insectstinaaune #zinnia

Lovely photo Tina 💕💕💕🐝

That's a lovely photo! We got close to freezing the last two nights but so far we've escaped it. Cool tonight but not close to freezing (about 41F) but the next two weeks look warm and sunny. Hope the frost bypasses you too😊

Super shot!! 📸 🌸 🐝

Thanks Kyra 😊 @kypie8

A few of the #zinnias this season This one is a little different in color & pattern #zinnia looks like it was meant to be yellow/orange but just didn't have enough in him

It still looks very pretty. Something just a bit different and I like it😊

These stripey ones are my faaaaaaaave!!!! 😍😍😍

BEAUTIFUL

Great closeup! Are carpenter bees all black? We're supposed to have them but I've never seen an all black bee!

It's the mature females that are supposed to be all black Katy and other carpenters have more of a tan/ yellow fuzz @gjones

@tinaaune Thanks for info! I'll keep a watch for them😊

You know your bees! My zinnias have not bloomed yet!

Mine just started not too long ago Laura, I always just seed them in the ground so mine are always late @columbiariver

Better late than never I guess 👍💚

Beautiful photo! That zinnia is stunning with so many layers of interest. I don't know most of our bees except for our bumblebee🙂

I think it's good especially for people who fear them to get to know each one and know what they do! @gjones but BOY can they be hard to differentiate @columbiariver

I think this #zinnia is trying too hard to fit in with the marigolds😆

😍 It's beautiful! What's it's name?

🧡💕🧡

Good question @treefrog44 I went a little crazy and mixed all my seeds right down the row, but I'm leaning toward the scabiosa mix🤔😄

@tinaaune looks like it could be Persian carpet 😉

I did have one pack of collected seed from a profusion series, could be a x, it does resemble Persian carpet, we'll have to see if any more show up😊

You have sooo many pretty flowers. Gosh already the end of August!!😯😊💕

😂🤣😆😘

It's a pretty one but it could be mistaken for a marigold 😊

Beautiful memory.
