Marigolds vs Zinnias
















Marigolds under-performing. I missed the bright yellow accents beside the Zinnias already. Notice the right-side of the bed, marigolds' leaves are burnt at tip but the Orange Marigolds growing better on the left-side? So looks like the Marigolds could take the heat only so much unlike the hardy Zinnias and Gomphrenas.

Zinnias and Gomphrenas are sun-loving; they looked as if competing on who's quicker to reach towards the sun. Gomphrena flowers wilt slower before I could collect its seeds and I have yet to succeed in germinating it.

More Zinnias flowers; the young and old - quite a mix in this bed.
