Late Summer Oranges



















While we have been pretty disappointed with how these particular zinnias have performed in the dyepot, (having to fiddle with pH almost to the point of invoking magic spells) they have been a beautiful addition to our dyer's garden.  The butterflies, the bees and we have certainly enjoyed their beautiful bright orange colors as summer wanes and autumn waits just around the corner.

  1. Orange has turned into my favorite colors of the summer. While I know it must be disappointing not to have them work for your dyes, they really are pretty to look at.xx

  3. Love your photos - especially the ones of eht sheep in the mist on some of your other post! Zinnas are some of my favorite flowers and I always have a friendly "war" with my mother-in-law every summer in growing them, but sadly she beats me every time. Gladly, she shares!
