The Market was just swooning with luscious, colorful zinnias. These are such great blooms because they are so hearty and have such a long life after cutting. My favorite way to use them is mixed in with fresh herbs, like rosemary. Mixed together the zinnias and herbs create a lovely spirited end of Summer arrangement. But then, they also look pretty darn fab just as they are, in a simple vase, either solo with one color or mixed together for a riot of color.
I remember gathering brilliant bouquets of zinnias, growing up in San Diego……we’d combine them with sprigs of lemon and spearmint. In the heat of summer, they were a wonderful feast for the senses. Thank you for the wonderful pics…..
Carole, I love that visual! Cheers to vinnias, Ted
TKW – Would that be a combination of wine and zinnias? Sorry….I couldn’t resist!
Sounds like the perfect combo to me:)
