I have no explanation for the Zinnia's resilience. It's way out by the street, with no protection from the house. (It's more than 60 feet from my house). Mine is still blooming too, Dennis. Out in the open field in a bed. I did not plant any Zinnia 'Profusion' this year, although I usually do. This must have grown from seed spilled by last year's plant in that same general location. Or, less likely, lived over. Same zone as Dennis, in the SW Ohio area. Bill Lee
