What’s in A Name?

Where does the Zinnia get its name?

Johann Gottfried Zinn. He was a botany professor from Germany.

He "discovered" them in the Americas and took back to Europe in the 18th century.

There's more to the name, but it gets a little "zinny"!

Mr. Zinn also studied the eye. The zonule of Zinn.

Let's just call them zinnias!!!

Until Tomorrow! Smile On!
