Botanical Name - Zinnia
Common Name - Little Star or Youth and Age
 |
| The colors of Zinnia's when they bloom are breathtaking! |
The three names are so different for this Floral choice
that I decided to do a little research.
Let me introduce

Johann Gottfried Zinn
December 1727 - April 1759
Zinnia were named in honor after the German Botany Professor.
When I was choosing colors for my Zinnia I had so many choices.
The color range for Zinnia is endless!
Do you think that is why the name Little Star...
multitude of colors?
I think they should be called BIG Star!
For the choice of color and texture!
Perhaps the common name of Youth and Age
comes from Zinnia Romantic flower meaning...
Thoughtful Recollections
As I sit in my Floral Cutting Garden next year
sipping my glass of wine..
I will toast Professor Zinn
and recollect memories
whether little or BIG!
Of course the wine for this toast
Zinfandel!
Be Spontaneous!
