Description
This photograph of pink zinnia, was taken this past summer while visiting the Chicago Botanic Gardens in Glencoe, Illinois
Zinnias are popular garden flowers because they come in a wide range of flower colors and shapes, and they can withstand hot summer temperatures, and are easy to grow from seeds. They are grown in fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained soil, in an area with full sun. They will reseed themselves each year. Over 100 cultivars have been produced since selective breeding started in the 19th century.
A number of species of zinnia are popular flowering plants, and interspecific hybrids are becoming more common. Their varied habits allow for uses in several parts of a garden, and their tendency to attract butterflies and hummingbirds is seen as desirable. Commercially available seeds and plants are derived from open pollinated or F1 crosses, and the first commercial F1 hybrid dates from 1960.
I enjoy taking macro photographs of objects letting the viewer see the smallest detail of that objects that they might miss on first glance.
I hope you have enjoyed this work. You can see more of my artwork on my homepage in the various galleries I have created. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
