@LeafMeBee Nice job I love zinnias they’re amazing. When you dead head you can sprinkle them in soil next year growing season. Congratulations
Oh zinnias are so cheerful, aren’t they? 🥰 I totally do what Deb @ILoveMyPlants does and leave the deadheaded blooms all over for more flowers later too!
@LeafMeBee My mom has them all along fence row and I love picking bouquets of them . Every one has a unique look. Dont tell @DreamMachine I bring fresh cut flowers in 😆😆
@ILoveMyPlants mums the word 😂😂😂. I was thinking the same but decided for my first blooms I’ll let nature have its moment. so instead I keep taking photos
@ILoveMyPlants @LeafMeBee GASP. The horror! 😂 Omg though, the other day I picked some flowers and herbs for a friend, wrapped them in a towel and tin foil, and then guess what I was picking off and squishing in the car?? Aphids, thrips, little flying ants, and a whole plethora of unidentified bugs 😳 SO glad I didn’t bring them in the house. 😱
@LeafMeBee yes 🙄 Like my friend Shannon said: “Flowers are what thrips love and they always start there, then move to the leaves. The flowers taste sweet and are like candy to them.”
While I wouldn’t dream of telling other people what I think they should do, I am a bit of a harsh mistress in my own rules and practices. 😅 I never bring cut flowers indoors (hubs knows not to surprise me with bouquets),
and any new flowering houseplant gets the flowers chopped off upon arrival. Flowers will always grow back, but thrips are simply a NIGHTMARE to eradicate. 😫 To me, it’s just not worth it 🤷♀️ But I do take lots of happy pictures of my outdoor blooms, like you , and let nature have her moment 🥰

@DreamMachine great advice! This is why I joined. Thank you all.
