My first zinnia bloomed today...the others are being eaten by earwigs...

A very pretty earwig delicacy ?!? I haven't come across zinnias before. They look a lot like dahlias

yes they do look like dahlia flowers but the zinnia is a woody plant where the dahlia are quite succulent. I like zinnias because they are terrifically easy from seed and always put on a colourful show.

This is the first time I have grown these and you are right Lori they were so easy to grow Are they annuals ?

They certainly are for me, Janette!... minus 30 centrigrade with minus 20 as the high for a week or so at least...our winters are brutal by your standards!!
