This is a new hybrid between a zinnia and a mum. As you see the petal structure and shape is like a zinnia but it grows in a round plant form like a mum and it's bud look like mum buds not the distinctive zinnia bud. The flowers are also sized like a mum flower. Since they are still experimental I don't know if it will ever show up at a garden center. The place where I was is participating in the trials.

Looks rather similar to the other one in its shape. Another beauty here Kathy.

I tried growing Zinnias years ago with no success....no success with anything else either! Plastic became my thing. Beautiful lighting and color, Kathy.

This "Zum" (as mentioned by Tick) is beautiful and worthy for future selling in garden centers. If other properties, such as resistance to plant diseases, are evaluated positively, you will will see this hybrid undoubtedly there in the future. Very special one Kathy!

Regards, Cornelius.

If I had "Zums", perhaps they would not be as appealing to gophers! Nice one.
