I like to grow different types of zinnias each summer, particularly old-fashioned species. This year I grew a yellow-flowered Peruviana (Zinnia peruviana) and multi-colored Persian Carpet (Zinnia haageana). Tucked in this arrangement is a yellow-flowered herb, can you guess what it is? Here is a clue: This herb grows as a tangled perennial in my zone 7 Virginia garden and is just now blooming in July. #inavaseonmonday

Is it tansy?
Correct! The small button flowers are tansy, an herb once used for strewing to keep flies away
Looks like Tansy.
Correct! it is tansy, a strewing herb from the olden days
I especially like that Persian Carpet zinnia – one to look out for, and what pretty flower heads the tansy has. Thanks for sharing your vase today, Peggy
