Oh for a zillion zinnias!
These brilliant bursts of color brighten the summer season with their beauty -and also with the beauty they bring!
As I stood outside with my camera, several butterflies stopped by to sip of their sweetness.
A hummingbird moth also hovered about, greedily slurping up nectar.
When I see these Starburst candy colored flowers, I can’t help but smile. I’m pretty sure they give off the fragrance of happiness.
I really do wish I had a zillion zinnias!

Beautiful! I love your title. Is it a play on the hymn “Oh for a thousand tongues to sing…”?
I wasn’t thinking of the hymn when I wrote the title, but now it is stuck in my head! But hey, if I have to have something stuck in my head, at least it has good words. 😊
Hahaha… I couldn’t stop that song going through my head for ages after reading your post. Its nice to be reminded of a lovely old hymn 🙂
They are magnets for these beautiful insects. Wonderful photos!
Magnets…good description.
very lovely pics!
Thanks. 😊
so many visitors! I love Zinnias!
WOWZA!! There is such a variety of butterflies on your Zinnias! And so nice against the greens in the background. 💚🦋😊
Beauty on beauty and amazing pictures.
Beauty on beauty…that would have been a good title. 😊
What a great splash of colors – Summer at its finest!
Hi Kathy, I’m going ahead with the zinnia post and – I know this is greedy – if its ok with you (I promise I’ll especially feature your blog and recommend it) I would like to use two photos from this post, the first and the 2nd-to-last and re-use your title. (This is in addition to another zinnia photo you’ve already okayed). Really cheeky! ..so I understand if you say no, but perhaps you’ll say yes so I have to ask 😉 The post will also have a few single images from other bloggers but I’d put yours first. Hope you don’t mind me asking, Liz 🙂
