Zinnia
Last mothers day my nephew Nate planted a mothers day flower seed at preschool and brought it home. The sprouting plant was planted in a cup with a card for his mommy. It didn’t have a flower yet so we transplanted it into a pot and set it outside. It was a mystery on what kind of flower it was going to be since it had no note. I was careful to make sure it had water all summer long and Nate would help me out. It grew very long and tall but no flower yet.
The flower finally bloomed last week. My sister was unable to take a plant across the boarder why I kept it.
But this week the flower grew even bigger and brighter.
Here is Memow trying to get in the shot LOL.
Later Memow took out the plant by knocking it over.
Such a jealous cat!So I clipped the flower and pressed it in an old phone book to send to my sister @fatmarriedmama.
Really a funny thing since we had the plant all summer and only now it blooms.
Happy Friday!

That is incredible that it lasted all summer. I love that flower though.
i like Zinnias!!!
It’s really pretty.
Beautiful flower.
Do you think you should plant it in a wider and longer pot for the roots to spread out some. Then the plant won’t grow so tall. I think you could transplant it again.
That was so nice of you to take the flower and press it and send to your sister. i am sure she appreciated it a lot.
wow… its beautiful… i couldn’t believe its the same flower, the top and bottom pics…
amazing…
