About the name
Zinnia is German-Latin — the flower named for botanist Johann Zinn — the bloom that thrives in heat, blooms until frost, and became the first flower ever grown in space (aboard the ISS, 2016).
Rare and rising with the maximal-flower wave, Zinnia is the garden's most durable optimist.
Three bright syllables with Zin and Nia as keys. It pairs well with steady middles (Zinnia Mae, Zinnia Ruth). On our vibe map it is Nature-Inspired at full saturation with Whimsical petals, Boho seed packets — and one flower, in orbit.
