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 Germinating In Deadheads!

20 years ago

I was seed searching in my pot of Swizzle Zinnia and found some nice deadheads. I was getting all the seeds out of the deadheads and noticed that some had already started germinating....inside the deadheads.

I thought this was so strange. Especially since I'm the only one on the planet that can't get Ziinas to germinate at all. Hmm.

Has this happened to anyone else out there?

Alice
