Bees at Work?

by theshrubqueen

I started this batch of Zinnias from open pollinated seed. The first flowers were pink and creamy solid colors. Now I have mixed striped flowers.The plants are winding down and I am letting a few go to seed and see what color comes up next. I am thinking these are not hybrids and have cross pollinated?

Any thoughts?

    Pretty effect. I have seen some stripey ones on seed packets while shopping – called Candy Stripe. They do look similar.

    No ideas, but definitely a fun science experiment.
