Our last name starts with "N", and my mom thinks it would be cool if the initials are ZEN...Any other Z names?
What do you think of the name zinnia for a girl baby?
I think it's cute! My name is Zena, and since I love flowers, my daughter has nicknamed me "Zinnia"
Reply:Zinnia is pretty. You could also consider these: Zariyah, Zariyan, Ziyana, Zarra or Zoey
Reply:Well, you should think alot about what name to pick for your child, since they have to live with it for the rest of their life. I think if you like the name Zinnia, then use it. Please don't name her that just to please your mother. To answer your question on my opinion about the name, I would have to say no. I don't think that it is a good name. I definitely would consider Zoe if you are adamant on keeping it with a z. Good Luck in your search!

What is the adaptation of a zinnia?
as in their special features that help them cope with the environment
What is the adaptation of a zinnia?
Zinnia is a genus of 20 species of annual and perennial plants of family Asteraceae, originally from scrub and dry grassland in an area stretching from the American Southwest to South America, but primarily Mexico, and notable for their solitary long-stemmed flowers that come in a variety of bright colors.
Zinnia leaves are opposite and usually stalkless, with a shape ranging from linear to ovate, and pale to middle green in color. The flowers have a range of appearances, from a single row of petals, to a dome shape, with the colors white, chartreuse, yellow, orange, red, purple, and lilac.
Zinnias are popular garden flowers, usually grown from seed, and preferably 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.
Zinnia elegans is the familiar species, originally from Mexico and thus a warm-hot climate plant. Its leaves are lance-shaped and sandpapery in texture, and height ranges from 15 cm to 1 meter.
Zinnias seem especially favored by butterflies, and many gardeners add zinnias specifically to attract them.
These are garden plants and require constant attention .They can not cope up with harsh environment.

Can you grow zinnia flowers in manure?
You can add aged or composted manure into the soil in their flower beds, but fresh manure can be too strong %26amp; might harm your plants. Fresh manure can burn their roots.
When the manure is fresh, it also can contain some viable weed seeds that can take over a garden. So letting manure compost %26amp; age first makes a lot of sense.
Can you grow zinnia flowers in manure?
it's not always recomended but you can mix potting soil and manure with the existing soil to make it look nice and keep harm to your plants and add a few earthworms to your garden it really helps

When is the best time to plant Zinnia seeds?
spring or early summer. you just scatter the seeds and losely put a bit of dirt on top. your seeds will be good next year yet..
When is the best time to plant Zinnia seeds?
Zinnias are annuals. They will not come up the following year. You can start them indoors about 6 weeks prior to planting time for outdoors ( you can buy what you need to do this at a home depot or nursery) then come spring, transfer the seedlings outside....or just wait until early spring when danger of frost has left and turn the soil....plant the seeds. They are very easy to grow and look wonderful.
Reply:Depends on where you live. In the north, plant them in the spring after all danger of frost is gone. Just throw them out %26amp; scratch them into the soil. You don't need to plant them deep.
In the south you can re-plant them in July %26amp; you'll have a nice fresh crop of flowers in the fall.
The seeds will NOT winter over. A cold winter will freeze them %26amp; they won't sprout.
Reply:You can plant them in Autumn or Spring. Zinnia would naturally drop their seeds in the Autumn so there is no reason why you can't plant them then as well. I live in zone 7 and I let my Zinnia reseed itself. I also collect seed for spring so I can fill in bare spots later.

Zinnia seeds and freezing temperatures?
In years past, I have been able to collect seeds from my zinnias after the flower heads die. There is a freeze expected tonight and they have not died back yet. Will the seeds still be viable if they have frozen? Can I collect the flower heads and let them dry and still be able to use the seeds next spring?
I can't cover them tonight. They are too tall and cover too big an area.
Zinnia seeds and freezing temperatures?
Cut the heads off some and lay on a newspaper or paper towel to dry out. Crumble between your fingers to get the seeds out and store in a zip lock baggie til spring.
Reply:Yes either way the seeds will be good
Reply:Sure, they'll be fine. Think about plants in the wild. They drop seeds that stay exposed to freeze, snow, cold all winter....

My zinnia flowers have fungus problems.Their leaves become white and finally dry.I suspect contaminated seeds?
has to do with this problem. How could i treat these fungal seeds so that they will give good results.
My zinnia flowers have fungus problems.Their leaves become white and finally dry.I suspect contaminated seeds?
What you describe sounds like powdery mildew. An organic way to treat the plant is to spray the entire plant with a mild solution of milk and water. Any milk will do (whole or skim) and just about two tablespoons per gallon. It is usually a problem caused by fungal spores in the soil which splash onto the plant when it is watered or rained upon.
Reply:I have excellent results with Wilt-Pruf, an antidessicant, it keeps the spores from getting a foothold.
Reply:TRY TO CONTACT ANY GARDENER CAUSE HE MIGTH BE KNOWING IT BETTER.if u can't do that just throw it away.............

How to Grow Creeping Zinnia (Sanvitalia Procumbens) ?
eHow is always a good source for many items such as planting flowers.
1. Check out nurseries for seedlings, which are easy to find. Starting from seed is a little tricky. Plant seeds 6 to 8 weeks before your region's last frost date.
2. Plant creeping zinnia seedlings in spring after the last frost date. It likes a well-drained spot.
3. Fertilize lightly once or twice during the growing season with a water-soluble fertilizer.
4. Keep the soil only very slightly moist. Creeping zinnias are fairly drought-tolerant.
5. Pull out plants and discard once frost kills them.

How can I keep the bugs away without, getting a nasty, mildew-covered plant?

Go and catch some toads for your garden, they eat bugs for free! You can make your garden toad friendly by adding a toad house and a little water for them. There are a lot of toad houses for sale on the web or make your own with old Terra cot ta pots. Just make a little entrance for the toad and tip the pot upside down and it will provide him shelter.
Reply:Why not use sevin dust?
Reply:Rather than interferring with nature and spraying, why not leave it to the birds to deal with the pests!
It's kinder all round (cheaper too).

Looking for zinnia carpet seeds, sold in a box for large plantings, just spread out the seed and sand mix?
I purchased them at Walmart last year and they grew great! I found one called "Rose Carpet" but have failed to even find it on the internet so far! "Flower carpet" turned up nothing also.

I love the flower zinnia. I'm wondering how and why the blooms differ so much from one plant to another?
One may look like a pom pom and another like a daisy or a mum
I love the flower zinnia. I'm wondering how and why the blooms differ so much from one plant to another?
Some zinnias are double (making them look like mums) and some are single. That is what makes them look so different. Most seed packs come mixed with all kinds of zinnia seed in them. Even the bought flowers come that way too.
Zinnias use to be called "Old Fashions" years and years ago. Don't you just love them. I sure do!!! I had such pretty ones last year, but I have not had such good luck this year. It has been so hot in Louisiana that they have just about burned up. (ME TOO!)
sticks (the gardener)
Reply:Just like many types of flowers, there are many varieties within the zinnia family of flowers. Without getting into the whole Latin name thing, lets just say you can get them in what's called a single (looks like a daisy), a double or a combination (looks more like a pom pom or mum).

How can Zinnia seeds be kept for the next season?
I have tried this numerous years, and have not yet had any seeds germinate.
How can Zinnia seeds be kept for the next season?
just put them in an envelope and set the away some where dark and cool. Just don't forget where you put them. I forget all the time, but I have a system this year. I usually let my zinnia reseed itself and I always get the zinnia I started with. I don't understand why you haven't had any luck. Zinnia are one of the easiest to start. When I collect the seed for Spring I just toss them on freshly turned soil and water daily until they germinate.
Good Luck
Reply:When are seeds ready to be collected? Report It
Reply:Zinnias will not breed true seeds; even if they germinate, you won't get the same plants that you got this year, since you probably planted hybrid seeds. You'll get much better results if you just buy new seed next year from a reputable dealer.
Reply:Let the flowers fully mature on the plant. When fully dry pull the heads off and collect the seeds at the bottom of the petals. Let the seeds dry well and then put into plastic bags, metal cans or envelopes. Store in an area that will not freeze but will be cold. I do this every year and have great success with them. Last year I planted seeds that I collected from 5 years ago and had good germination.

How often do i water Zinnia flowers?
I planted some Zinnia flowers in my front house. I don't know how often i should water them. So far i water them every other day?
How often do i water Zinnia flowers?
It depends on where you live and where you plant them. I never water my zinnia cause the flower bed is about 15 ft away from a creek and the soil stays moist in hot summer (lucky me).
The plants will tell you if the leaves start to wilt, they need more water. So just wait and see, in summer time if you water them today and they start to wilt tomorrow then you need to water them everyday.
Just remember give water on the roots and not the leaves, the leaves need to stay dry or powdery mildew will grow on them.
Reply:if you live in the south where the heat is ridiculous, water them every freakin day. If it's a more temperate climate, every other day should be fine.

Zinnia...?
so on March 10, 2008 i started a zinnia. i put one seed in a 9 oz. plastic cup. i placed the seed in the correct depth and a little towards the side. it has been 12 days and not 1 but 4 little sprouts are coming up!!! they look like zinnia blooms, but is it possible to have four? i used some potting soil and the seed was packaged in 2004 does that matter?
Zinnia...?
Sounds like the potting soil had some seed in it, not uncommon at all. You should have had only one plant with one seed, so more likely it is weeds sprouting.
Reply:I've seen cockleburs with multiple embryos in one seed but not zinnias
