They are dahlias but have similar structure as zinnias. Zinnias are real champions in my garden too.

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead.

Please. Don’t look away and don’t be silent. This is all I could ask for

Looks like a male flower to me. It will pollinate any female flowers that come later. Look for a swollen uterus (I think that’s what it’s called) at the base of the flower.

I’m having a similar issue in Pennsylvania (zone 6ish). Zinnias that I’ve grown inside and transferred to the garden are doing well. But those that I directly seeded in the garden are struggling.
