Thanks for the compliment....

Umar, "Sundial" is the best variety larger blooms which remain open for a longer period. Unfortunately it was sold out so I purchased "Sunny Boy"

[UMAR KHAN]

Actually thats the reason Izhar i like sundial i have even seen its blooms open in the light of a tube light in late hours.i was astonished to see it open in night time.unfortunately it was not avaible this season.i planted long bloom mix.Izhar my Dream land will soon be in flowering.may be next week the whole window will be in blooms.i have planted 6 colors.your zinnia i think should be on its best these days.

Due to some workload at office I was unable to plant my zinnias early, they just have been transplanted.
