Planting Zinnias

I planted some Zinnias to put in Janelle's room in front of the window. I though it would be nice for her to have something living in her room. Not only are they beautiful flowers, they will provide many teaching opportunities like how God created them, gratitude and appreciation for the beautiful things He created, responsibility (watering and caring), science (how flowers grow), and since I got an assorted package they can help with teaching colors. They also produce oxygen to help keep the air clean and fresh. I bought a package of seeds from Wal-mart for $.99, and I planted them in a gallon water bottle that I cut in half. After they sprout I will transfer them to pots. I found this picture online to show what they look like. I hope mine turn out this beautiful.

  1. Hi Deborah,
    God Bless you today. I just wanted to say Hi, and that I've been thinking about you. I too want to start a hope chest for Peyton.

  2. Thank you for speaking up for God. Why don't you put on your blog page a place for followers? I try to encourage people through still life photography. I have a blog page which I post an image I've done with a Bible verse on it. Then underneath the image I post a pre 1920 Christian song/poem (in public domain) to encourage people. Why not "come and smell the flowers." I posted an image today of zinnias at http://versesphotos.blogspot.com
