I was telling you in the last article on Boone Hall Plantation about the beautiful field of zinnias as far as the eye could see and then some.  It was just an amazing sight to see, all the pretty flowers, butteflies, bumble bees and colors.  I have never seen such a wonderful sight and I took a lot of photos, of course, so I could share their beauty with you.

On with the views...

Facing the field this is the left end,

the middle,

the right end.

 

Let me tell you, the photos do not do it justice.  Let's look at some individual pieces of the field.

I had to add this tree limb with some kind of fungus maybe, growing on it.  I thought is was interesting as well as pretty.  The photo makes it look like leaves, but in person it didn't look anything like a leaf.

I hope you enjoyed the field of zinnias.

My first thought was how many pounds of Zinnia seeds were planted. What a riot of lasting color. Beautiful photos!

Thank you for posting your photo to Pretty Pictures.

OMG what a beautiful field of zinnias! I've never seen a whole field of them. Very impressive. Great job on those macros too. Wow. I love to grow zinnias. I didn't do it this summer but I usually do. I never plant enough. Thanks for sharing these most magnificent shots!

These are fantastic pictures Nana. Don't know which one to comment on first. Wonder how they keep the weeds out of so many closely packed flowers. Beautiful.

Wow - did I ever enjoy it! I miss not having the sunlight necessary to grow zinnias. When i had the sun, I planted them every spring and had cut flowers in my house all summer.
