"Queenie Red Lime" 6-26-23

Zinnia

Unusual antique color.

These 2-3½" blooms have soft burgundy outer petals that gradually lighten to creamy lime centers. A mix of fully double and semidouble flowers with a small percentage of singles. Cut-and-come-again flower, yielding multiple cuts over the season. Previously and widely known as 'Queen Red Lime.' Over the years, as the breeder has developed new colors in the series, he has transitioned the series name from "Queen" to "Queeny."

Started from seed https://pbase.com/britestar/image/173799037 in late April/early May,
this has become one of my favorite zinnia varieties.

Beautiful Liz. Zinnias were always some of my favorite flowers. //They are beautiful, they last and they attract many beautiful insects and birds like butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, finches etc. etc.
