My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Zinnia or Weed or What?

18 years ago

I have this among my zinnias (the tall one on the right). It seems to start flowering little flowers but they don't look like zinnia. I was about to yank it out but thought I would at least ask first.

The funny thing is I sowed my zinnias by rows and columns, and I have a few of these coming out in the exact place where they should be a zinnia. Maybe some weeds got into the packet of the zinnia seeds?

If it is not zinnia, do you recognize what it is?

TIA!
