These zinnias, nearing the end of their growing cycle, are still delighting people on Pleasant Ridge Road in Northwest Greensboro. We noticed them while taking photos at the fall festival at the Double C Farm this past weekend. We're taking note of flowering vegetation that is hardy in the late fall so that we can include them in our landscape. When these zinnias are in their full glory, the pink and orange combination must be simply stunning! As Greensboro succumbs to the browns and gray of winter, we're going to bring this photo to desktop! This photo is dedicated to our dear friend iJune who is under the weather!
Finally, if you haven't voted yet, please head to the polls and vote YES to support the expansion and renovation of the Natural Science Center. Even MORE beautiful flora and fauna can be part of your life at this Greensboro treasure.
Amazing, and you are much further north!

Beautiful colors. I think this week they will be "zapped" - if we get the predicted frost. It is a little late in coming (which has been nice!) I think we usually get at least one frosty night in October.

I'm on staff at UNCG. We have a gallery that is part of our center. Would you ever be interested in showing your photos with us?
