This is one of the three variations of the Zinnia!

We will be reading up to Topke Gola for next week and continuing to explore a botanical for our outside activity. Feel free to do this in whatever manner you're most comfortable (drawing, writing, photographing or other).

So…what are your thoughts on the first section?! What’s standing out to you? Also—anyone else LOVE when a book starts with a map?! What are you thinking so far? 👇

Today I explored a Common Zinnia for part of our botanical expedition for our Wander and Wonder Botanical Challenge. I learned that they are composite flowers with three arrangements: single, semi double and fully double. I then went on the hunt in my garden to see if I had all three arrangements and if the colors indicated it the arrangement type.

We are camping at Jordan Lake Poplar Point 10/23-10/25 F004. Let me know if you are joining and what site!
