Scientific name: Zinnia elegans
Zinnia is perfect for beginners for gardening. This is one of my first garden plants as a child. The brightly coloured, button like blooms are wonderful as borders or beds. Thought it is native to Mexico, is spread across the globe, which is a testimony to its popularity. There are normal and dwarf varieties with single, double or multi-layered flowers with a wide range of colours. This flower was shot on 1st October, 2011 at the Dussehra flower show in Mysore.
