Josie, "The picture was this Summer but were all destroyed by the hurricane season." That's too bad. That was a nice looking bunch of zinnias. Remnants of a hurricane made it up here last Summer, but by the time it got to Kansas it was just some heavy rain and high winds of maybe 40mph. This is a picture of part of my zinnia patch this last Summer. As you can see, I use rebars and "zinnia cages" to help hold my zinnias up in storms that have high winds. Sustained winds of 30mph are rather common here. "I replanted a lot of zinnia seeds a month ago and nothing came up..." That's odd. Zinnias are usually quite good about coming up. "Now I will have to wait until February when the stores put out seeds for sale. Down here it is not like the rest of the country where you can find seed most of year." Have you tried buying seeds out of seed catalogs or from online stores? I got my Johnny's Selected Seeds catalog a couple of days ago, and you can also buy directly online. I also buy seeds from Burpee's, Park's, Harris, Stokes, and Hazzard's. Or, if you don't like to do online shopping, you could at least request a free catalog. Most major seed companies now have online seed sales. You get a wider selection that way. Companies like Johnny's have a lot of separate colors of zinnias, including some that are on your wanted list. If you requested a catalog from Johnny's, you could shop for seeds in the comfort of your living room or breakfast table. ZM (not associated with any product or vendor mentioned)

Hi Kizzyseeds! I love zinnias too! recently i recieved some candy cane mixed and cherry profusion zinnias through trades that i'd be happy to share with you! i saw that you are doing some seeds for SASE. I could send you mine first and some extra postage for some great seeds that you have! Are you interested? thanks!

I have lots of Zinnia Magellan Coral seeds from my 2008 garden. (They're mixed in with chaff and open-pollinated but I have so many I can be generous). If you check out my trade page, you'll see a link to a photo of these coral zinnias. I'm looking for either Zinnia Magellan Scarlet or Zinnia Zahara Scarlet.

This is what I have to trade as far as zinnias go.
