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.

Multiple nectaries on a zinnia?

16 years ago

Hi,

I am a beginning gardener, growing zinnias for the first time. One of my zinnias actually has multiple nectaries on one blossom/stem - I count four! They are not as large as the nectary on a typical zinnia, but they are definitely there and distinct from one another. Is this unusual?

Thanks!

Erin
