A Zest for Zinnias

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.
