    I grew this from seed, but no idea what it is!

    But no idea what it is.. and no flower is the same, it seems, and has similar flowers to Dahlias.

    Cheers!

        I had originally thought Zinnia but if you look at the link photos I put up, the one Kyle is showing is exactly the same at the one three rows down middling of the Salpiglossis and the Zinnia leaves don't look right ... :scratch: I think all his images are the same flower.

        Victoria, this is the pic kyleleonard posted that I have suggested is the Zinnia. It is pink with multiple petals

        I agree with your id of the first few images as Salpiglossis.

        :D Agree .. did see that but thought he had one pack of seeds he was talking about. Pics are better than having to go into links ... :rolleyespink:

        Confusing because we have One pic displayed and three links?

        Had me going for a bit as to where the Zinnia was lurking I must admit.:D

        The other pictures were HUGEEEE. So I posted the links instead of having the thread stretched!

        Thanks for everyone's help!
