Field Notes

Description:

The name Zinnia derives from botanic Johann Gottfried Zinn.
The great variety of colors include red, orange, yellow, pink and white-green. This flower has no smell or structure, that's why it symbolises pure semplicity.

Habitat:

Actually front yard. In general wild desert plants found in Mexico, however garden varieties may escape and naturalise.
