Over Mother's Day weekend I attended the Friends Plant Sale, an annual event I have attended for about 8 years. Every year the plants do well that I have purchased, but this year I received a little surprise.
I love planting a long border of dwarf Zinnias in one of my gardens each year, all the same color (my favorite color is Raspberry). It's a dramatic look by August. So this year I bought a flat of Raspberry Zinnias and planted them like normal.
Here's what I got when they started blooming:

Hey there Yellow, wasn't expecting you! |

White with some Raspberry is certainly different |

Out of 40 plants I got 10 Raspberry |
So, since they are all planted, not much I can do now! So guess I'll roll with it and see how this diverse color border looks in a few months.
