Zinnias are a bright, shining garden addition

Body

The darling zinnia, whose dutiful countenance is bound to bring garden cheer, survives even during a drought.

The bright and shining little zinnia originated in Mexico where it was once considered a weed.

There is record of the first seeds arriving in Europe around 1627, however, the zinnia remained in quiet obscurity until 1750 when the seeds called mal de ojos were sent by the European ambassador to Johann Gottfried Zinn.
