I find myself saving back photos for this post and then they get buried or used on facebook. I never make it to the original site that I intended for it to be displayed. This twisted stemmed zinnia has stayed the course and just today I staked it back up into a standing place. How the stem got twisted can only be blamed on weather and gravity. I found an old tomato cage that I could place into the middle of the zinnias and I drew each fallen stem back into a semi vertical position.
The shot on the side here is one that has a shriveled, old flower look. It almost has a personality with the way that it is weathering. This is a mulit-petaled one that had been one of the first to bloom.

Still very pretty even after its prime!
Beautiful !
I'm glad you went to the aid of the zinnias. Long stems are often a pain for our beautiful flowers.
Good to see multi-petaled zinnia, which is first for me too.
It has an artistic bent. Very pretty though aging.
