😆😆

🤣🤣🤣

You are messing with my mind. Great job. 🤣

At first glance you had me, I will admit it... nice job!

@gjones 🤣 it’s genuinely just to post 2 colours of the same plant rather than separate photos. But I do try to match them up, just to see… 🤭

@anges @pelly @hkyfvr need to work harder on colour matching 😉🤣

@lewish 🤣 I posted a Cosmos one the other day that was a lot more convincing - they were the same kind of colours at least 😜😆

Very clever 😄

@churchfarmgarden 😅 I should have picked similar colours 😜

No I think it's more striking with different colours 👍

@churchfarmgarden thank you Sue 😛🧡💕

Wow! that is gorgeous loven the colour

It's been a good year for zinnias, especially your new ones 👍🤩

@alan1111 thanks Alan 😀 all this variety seem to have been this colour, not that it’s a bad thing 😛

@alif thank you Alif 😃

@cyndi thanks Cyndi 😄

@gjones thank you Katy 😁 couldn’t believe there were so many tiny flowers on these ones 😍

@jeatacake thanks Jeff ☺️ they do seem to have enjoyed the heat 🥵

Looking like that not a bad thing at all 😛

Beautiful 🧡🧡♥️♥️

@midnightgardener thank you Chris 😊

Combination of two plants in one 🐝😎🐝

Very pretty 😊

I just added a dahlia to my wishlist that looked like this! Perhaps I need to take on the zinnia addiction too because they're so similar 😜

Gorgeous K 🤩

Oh wow, love it 😍

@debs69 it really is like a zinnia/coneflower hybrid 😂

@italydiva thanks Angela 😀 had a good lot of zinnias this year. They’re all looking quite interesting at the moment 😛

@jmlincoln there are dahlias like this??? 😯 I have to see them 😛 if you ever fancy any seed, just let me know 😁

@gjones the colour has to be my favourite I think 🧡 and the fact it’s a bit different helps 😂

@telswirld thank you T ☺️

@alan1111 thanks Alan 😁

Oh Kerry, what an awesome collection you have there. They're absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍

@cyndi thanks Cyndi 😊 still surprised at how long the flowers last 😜

@gjones thank you Katy ☺️ they’re fantastic flowers 😍

@columbiariver every garden should have them 😛

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😁 even as they’re going over they still look good! Been so impressed with them this summer. Hoping there’s still time for some others to flower too 🤞🏻

Yes, their flowers do last well. At least another month of potential flowering time I'd say 👍🙏😁

@jeatacake and with a hot bank holiday weekend on the cards it’ll kickstart things again hopefully 😁

@cyndi I’m struggling to not deadhead 😂 seed saving isn’t an easy task for me 🙈

I hope so 🤞 Not so hot here today so far, nor dry!

@jeatacake it’s the opposite here, hot and not a drop of rain in sight 😜

Maybe inching its way up here by tomorrow 🙏

@jeatacake I’ve been fanning it north west all day 😉

Love all your zinnias Kerry!

@maldavis thanks Mark 😄 they’ve been a revelation! First time growing them and think they’ll always have a place in my garden from now on 💚

You have a lovely collection of zinnias Kerry. I'll have to do better with mine next year

@alan1111 thank you Alan ☺️ I think having them in pots has limited the slug and snail damage. I’m sure yours will fare better next year 😛

Next year I'll do a lot more zinnias and be more vigilant with the little slimey gits

@alan1111 🤣🤣🤣

#wildlifewednesday

That's so well camouflaged 👌

What the....😲

I almost missed it, is that a moth

Excellent camouflage!

@anges he thought he was safe but then had my phone shoved in his face 😂

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I can’t even tell if it’s a butterfly or moth 🙈

@alan1111 he picked the perfect plant to hide on 😂 I tried to find out what it was but still no idea if it’s moth or butterfly 😜

@bluefox23 love how it’s upside down too, so it blends in even better 😛

@cyndi fascinating isn’t it 🤩

It’s a dead leaf I think....

I'm no expert but I'd say it's a moth. Lucky you for finding it

Incredible photo Kerry!💘😍
