ORANGE PENDULUM... ZINNIA
To brighten your day.
Zinnia is a genus of plants of the sunflower tribe within the daisy family.
They are native to scrub and dry grassland in an area stretching from the Southwestern United States to South America, with a centre of diversity in Mexico. Members of the genus are notable for their solitary long-stemmed flowers that come in a variety of bright colours.
The genus name honours German botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn (1727–59)
There’s not a more vibrant late-summer plant, with a brilliant range of colours and flowers that look as though they’ve been cut from velvet-coated cardboard.
