Looks like zombie to me
Those look like beautiful Zinnias to me! They should reseed and be back next year with any luck!!!
: )
Spell checker screwed up my answer--zinnia
They are Zinnia
Zinnia for sure!
These are zinnias. Zinnias are annuals that occasionally self-seed. These are beautiful specimens.
Zinnias...beautiful
Zinnias are right. To add more color and texture buy seeds and plant different varieties in the spring. they are great pollinators and lots of butterflies and even hummingbirds love them.
Okay, so I'm feeling pretty stupid about now. Zinnias (and Zombies) are common flowers, right? Thanks everyone, for your help. Much appreciated.
Zinnias are very popular in my region and, occasionally, they will "volunteer" or come back the next year. They are popular with hummingbirds, too.
That’s zinnia
Yes its a zinnia. How lucky you are to have them pop up. They've been around for ages and come in more varieties and colors than Carter's got pills!!
Hummingbirds are fast and almost spastic little creatures. It doesn't take them long to extract even the tiniest bit of nectar from any flower. The way their bodies are made, they don't often "perch," but sometimes you'll see one appearing to sit on a branch or a limb. They're wonderful to observe and I'm sorry ours have left for the season. The only one left is the "scout." He/she is the first one to arrive every spring and the last one to leave in the fall. We love our little hummers.
