Zinnias

I am pleased to report that I know the name of this flower. How unusual. It is a Zinnia. If there are several varieties, that information has not reached my brain yet. What I love about this is that it is not a bad looking blossom, given the beating the garden has taken this year. The trick to try and make this an interesting photograph, is to have more in the image than just the blossom - what can make it interesting is the background. In this case, there are nice graphic elements in the green leaves, and a hint of another blossom.
