What are they? lovely colours:-)

Hi bornagain, these are zinnia. Very easy to grow, I don't grow anything that's hard to grow I guess that's why I don't have any echinacea. I planted some seeds one summer and nothing happened. I do have some echinacea seeds I picked along the lake last year though. I'll try again bcs they're so pretty. Any advice?

I haven't grown them myself and have asked for advice on here. It seems they prefer neutral to alkali soil which is the one fact I think I know lol. If you click on me and go to my page, then click on my outbox...you'll see my last question (top right) was about echinacea, click on it, also if you type echinacea in the search box top right you should get some results too:-)
