A lovely flower , great depth of colour and beautiful and velvety I haven't grown Zinnias for years -- perhaps its time for a re-think in the garden !!
Nice shot and lovely flower.
I remember this novel by H.E. Bates; read it in high school and enjoyed it. Another beautiful novel I remember is "Fair stood the wind for France", about a love in occupied France during World War II.
Wasn't The Darling Buds of May a delicious story, Pa Larkin reminds me so much of my brother! I had forgotten the girls names so good to be reminded! Gorgeous flower!
A wonderful memory photo for me. Growing up in a very dry rural part of Australia my mum planted & tended these flowers along the front fence of the farm. People travelling past to the next property would stop to admire them. Fav & Thankyou! Unfortunately in those times no one ever thought to take a photo, but imprinted in my brain:)
Yes, I like those flowers within a flower too.

Yes the novel set in France was great. My favourite is 'A Moment in Time' - very poignant but very beautiful.
