Nice! Which zinnias are those? Zinnias are so easy and they sure bring the butterflies and other pollinators around. We always plant a strip of them along the fence at the side of the garden. I like the taller ones as it makes deadheading easier on my back. And they're usually half red ones and half yellow ones.

I grew the green envy zinnias, dark purple,Will Roger's,Red man cactus, Burpeeanea Giants,candystripe, a few others for the pollinators. I loved watching the butterflies and hummingbirds.
So easy to grow and added eye popping color.

Is the Orange King the third photo, with the butterfly?
And which is that velvety purple one in the second photo, do you know? Beautiful. They are all lovely! |

Zinnias are the best! Easy to sprout, fast growing, butterflies and even hummingbirds love them.
Now if only they had fragrance lol! |

These are Will Rogers and Daffodil, what I use every year along the fence by the edge of the garden. Those colors seem to attract the most butterflies for me. The height is just right for me for deadheading but not so tall they eventually fall over.
