Gorgeous!
aw, thanks erin.
These look like gerbera or African daisies rather than zinnias. But I am still glad that the rain has stopped.
I don't care what they are - the afternoon is clouding over, and this picture has improved my mood.
Thanks for your wonderful flower photos! They are terrific. They improve my mood too!
I want to learn how to grow those in my yard!
If you want to grow gerbera daisies, I recommend you start from seed so the plants can adapt to your yard's micro-climate. The full-grown potted versions often originate in a greenhouse setting, and the transition into real nature can be rough.
