A Zinnia in the garden

Last year, I had a favourite sunflower. I watched it at every stage through the growing season and through the winter. And the stalk lingered long into a second year.

It’s been hard to find a new favourite flower this year. Much harder than I expected.

There was a mullein that I really liked. But I’m not sure it was this summer’s favourite flower.

This week I came upon this zinnia and for some reason it really struck me.

Can a bloom that lasts a week or so be your favourite flower?

I’ll be looking to see if the next blooms bring me as much joy.
