This zinnia flower in my garden has petals with tips painted as though a paint brush has been used. It is amazing how nature goes about its work presenting such creations

The flower is looking awesome. The beauty of nature is wonderful and many a times we are left wondering about beauty of flowers, their shape and size.

@allknowing - I fully agree with you that the color pattern on flower petals is so very beautiful that we keep seeing this in an awe.

It is mysterious really. The way this particular flower gets touches of colour on the edges of the petals is truly amazing.

Even I am seeing this for the first time I hope I will get some seeds so that I can get more plants.

I love multicolored flowers, this one has beautiful colors, it is true that it looks like it has been painted.

Looks like someone has used a paint brush on it.

It is lovely. I've never see one like it. Next spring I will look for seeds for this Zinnia. I have only grown the usual ones and I love the bright colors but this is unique.

They just happen. I have not chosen this flower. It just came about.

@PainsOnSlate After a long long time I am back with seasonal flowers. I am now collecting seeds from the flowers that are blooming. There are others too.

@allknowing That's cool. If you save the seeds from this beauty you can plant them next year and have them again. So Mother nature made this one, so interesting.
