Macro Monday

Last year I was delighted to have a a potted zinnia gracing my deck. I shared it here. Since that post, winter came and the zinnia plant died.

Or so I thought. Eventually a stalk grew along with green leaves. And then … look, Ally!

Pink zinnia flower wilted

Oh, well. It’s been hot so I don’t blame the zinnia for calling it a week.


Here’s a two-fer even though it’s not a macro photo.

Y’all take care.

    • Thank you! I was so disappointed when I saw it was wilting. We’ve been getting plenty of rain, but it’s much too hot so flowers are shriveling almost as soon as they bloom.

    • Thank you, Ellen. We are all, indeed, quite wilty right now 😉 I am hoping another flower makes an appearance. There was a bud earlier but it shriveled before it opened. The little Zinnia that could! 😄
