	Zinnia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zinnia is a genus of 20 species of annual and perennial plants of family Asteraceae, originally from scrub and dry grassland in an area stretching from the American Southwest to South America, but primarily Mexico, and notable for their solitary long-stemmed flowers that come in a variety of bright colors.
		Zinnia leaves are opposite and usually stalkless, with a shape ranging from linear to ovate, and pale to middle green in color.
		Zinnias are popular garden flowers, usually grown from seed, and preferably in fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained soil, in an area with full sun.

	Review of ZINNIA by Jayne Castle (Jayne Ann Krentz) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Imagine you live in a society not unlike your own - with two major differences: Psychic/paranormal abilities are the norm rather than the exception, being classified in a scale of one to ten, and marriage/family is so important that there is enormous pressure for everyone to get married, and divorce is virtually impossible.
		Zinnia has also been involved in a society scandal some years ago, and was branded a "scarlet lady" by the tabloid press.
		The sparks fly between Zinnia and Nick; a mad professor, Zinnia's intellectual brother and their starchy aunt, Nick's uncle and a pushy photojournalist all complicate the picture, and you are in the middle of one of JAK's delightfully written romance stories with a hint of mystery.

	Worcester Art Museum - Zinnia and Nasturtium Leaves
		Having studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and under the Impressionist William Merritt Chase in New York, Sheeler took up architectural photography in 1912 as a means of supporting his painting.
		As both painter and photographer he focused on the sense of structure and form of his subjects, whether they were still lifes, buildings, interiors, machinery, or industrial environments.
		Zinnia and Nasturtium Leaves- one of eight photographs by Sheeler in the Museum's collection- emphasizes this structural character through the assertive forms of the stems, leaves, and flower, anchored by a round bowl.

		Though there are various kinds of zinnias, this zinnia is a curious breeding with green flowers.
		However, it might have been wrong to plant 4 of such large plants in a small container.
		Because the summer in California is hot and dry, the zinnias look always thirsty and they sometimes require watering twice a day especially on hot days, otherwise they lose vigor.
