Old Maids are Blooming





The "Old Maids", or Zinnias as most people now call them, are blooming under the summer sun. These easy to grow flowers come in just about every color imaginable.

We have Zinnias blooming in a couple of our veggie garden beds. We planted them in one bed three or four years ago. Now they reseed themselves. We let them grow wherever they want whenever possible. That's the nice thing about "Old Maids". They can pretty much take care of themselves.

I love zinnias...never heard them referred to as "old maids" though. Wonder what the story is behind that...
