Zinnia 'Queen Red Lime'?



This, I believe, is Zinnia 'Queen Red Lime'. I bought it in the spring at a garden center, and I am in love with it. The color is quite variable - from this sort of lilac-and-chartreuse to antique rose. Tall blue ageratum, verbena bonariensis, and white nicotiana have volunteered around it (there were grape colored opium poppies earlier, too). This combination is one of my favorite accidental arrangements ever.

Wow, that thing is really cool! Zinnias don't normally catch my eye, for whatever reason, but that one is awesome :)

Oh, that 4th picture is beautiful, and she is right in style with all those ruffles, not to mention the color too.

That has to be the most interesting colored Zinnia I've seen. Who knew Zinnas had such fashion sensibilities? Gorgeous!
