The zinnias that I planted from seed months ago are AMAZING!   When I returned from my South African expedition the zinnias had grown by leaps and bounds and were bursting with buds and flowers.  They have truly flourished in Ethiopian soil.   I have had cut flowers decorating my house everyday and have been able to share bouquets with many of my Ethiopian friends.  I’ve also had numerous requests for seeds.   If I return to Debremarkos 20 years from now, will I find that zinnias are my lasting legacy?
