But I mistakenly grabbed 3 boxes of leeks and only 1 onion. WTF? So half a bed went empty well past planting season. BESIDE THE POINT! ZINNIA seeds didn't get planted until well into June and probably closer to July. Beautiful! From seeds. Who knew?

I didn't realize I hadn't included the cultivar name for the two of those I know: yes, the multicolored one is 'Zowie Yellow Flame,' and the orange-red one at the end is 'Profusion Fire.'<br /><br />And as far as blue-purple and red-orange not going together: well, maybe they do.

I always thought they did.
