    @WonkyWomble my zinnias weren’t very tall - 2 foot at the most

    Oh thank you @chicky! That was exactly what I was hoping! Wonderful planting you've done in that bed, informal but such attention paid to complimenting colours! Beautiful!

    Thanks @Hostafan1, it's it a standard size or cherry tomato 🍅?

    It's seems to be a broad genus @Dovefromabove @Lyn as you can get that distinctive colouration in many plants and flowers on the Internet including strawberries and tomatoes!

    I'm afraid T&M haven't the best of reputations for seed reliability but choice isn't always available for those special items we scour the web for.  Good luck.
    Based on what I've seen them send my neighbour, I won't touch them with a barge pole for plants.

    The fuchsias and pelargoniums he received last year were a disgrace.

    I've read bad reports about their plants,  another reason I opt for seeds!
