Description

This image is the result of our finding this huge zinnia field of the flowers on a trip up toward Virginia from North Carolina for the day. I spent some time here as it was such a large field of these showy flowers and all sizes and colors. We had not had any rain for more than a week and to see them flourish like this was amazing to see. I shot this back as far away from the flowers I could to show the amazing amount and size of this field.

This scripture, Mathew 6:28-29 seemed to express this God's handiwork and beauty in such a beautiful way. I thought that only He could create such colorful beauty naturally in the earth for us to enjoy and give me a tool to capture it for all to see.

Zinnias are very, very, very easy to grow, but they must have full sun which means at least 6 hours each day. Plant zinnias after the danger of frost is over.
I found if you want to instill in children a love of gardening, there is no better way to start than by having them grow zinnias. Zinnias are easy to grow, quick to sprout and incredibly colorful. These qualities make them a perfect children's plant. Plantings of single colors, massed together, work best with children. Scarlet King and Canary Bird are two great varieties to start with, but there are many pinks, purples, oranges and greens to choose from.
