Zinnia -- Preciosa vs Dreamland
As I mentioned in the other thread, my plan to take cuttings from these short bright pink zinnias I'm loving has been foiled due to mildew, and I have no idea what cultivar they area.
So, looking at seed websites, I see two that may be similar: Dreamland Pink and Preciosa Pink.
Does anyone have any pics of either of these to share? If anyone has grown either of these series, would love to hear your input on them overall, even if not the pink.
Here's the pink color I'm trying to duplicate; not the best pic, I had to take it from inside the house because the sun was washing out the color when I tried from outside. But you can see it's a clear pink, not a dirty color:
I need a clear pink. Any other series I can look at if Preciosa or Dreamland won't fit the bill color-wise? I don't like Profusion-type single flowers, I like the doubles. Magellans have always been good performers for me, but the Cherry color is ugly to my eye (I've seen it IRL), and the pink is dirty.

I don't have any photos of commercial pink zinnias, but the seed companies themselves have photos that might be useful to you. For example, Dreamland Pink at Hazzard's
Another Giant Cactus Pink at Hazzard's
I provided links to the photos rather than copy the photos in here, because I am not sure about the legality of copying someone else's photos, so, if in doubt, don't. This photo is one I took if one of my zinnias. Here in Houz, you can click on a photo to see a larger version, and you can close that larger version by clicking on the X in the upper right-hand corner,
