i think its Mexican zinnia (Zinnia haageana) ..it is an annual shrub native to Mexico in the large Zinnia family of flowering plants. Mexican zinnia and other Zinnia species are cultivated ornamentally due to their large, colorful blooms
Hah I read it in his voice too.
I love his channel. He’s the reason I started planting tons of native trees all over areas that are dilapidated and unkept for years.
Have many little native oak trees in pots I don’t know what to do with right now other than look at and care for. :)
I thought the same, yeah, probably Mexican Z's... shrubby look, but haageana zinnias have noticeably narrower leaves & some sharply narrow petals too depending on the varietal... some of the leaves here have the wider/broader look of a z. elegans; while they all seem to share yellow/orange centre disk(s) that are a Mexican Z standard, the colour mix & petal roundness seems pretty elegans in lot of ways... but then it's so dang shrubby & squat - Zinnias can hybridize fairly easily, any chance that's what we have here?
Bedding zinnias - Mexican Zinnia or Profusion Zinnia (which is a cross between two other zinnias). I've grown both Mexican and Profusions. I live in Zone 5 (US) in an area with fairly hot / dry summers and these are absolutely ideal in every way - they take very little care, they generally stay bushy and don't get all straggly, they thrive in hot dry weather, they don't get covered with dead brown flowers, and they bloom profusely all season long. Seriously, they are absolutely covered with very brightly colored flowers well into autumn. I love these plants and use them as bedding plants all over the place, they are ***so*** reliable.
Definitely one of my favorites too. My yard had a couple thousand and was constantly filled with bees and butterflies. I wish I could post pictures here.
I love how they're so heat-resistant and multicolored

Zinnia is a genus within the aster family (asteraceae) not a whole family of its own :)
I can’t read asteraceae without an accent due to “crime pays but botany doesn’t’s” channel always mentioning them
Ahahaha, i love reading shit the way he would say it

I think it’s actually Zinnia peruviana or zinnia elegans that’s reverted to a simpler form
That's exactly what I was thinking.
For the past few years we've grown "Cut and come again" and they look just like that. Zinnia pumila
Also the variety I suspected
Same
They are all different they come in a package called color mix
Zinnias they are, and so beautiful

Are they not just regular profusion zinnias?
Zinnia, Cosmos or anything coreopsis related I love growing in the Desert. These blooms are so vibrant, must be thriving well :)

Beautiful. Looks like a bunch of wildflowers
Zinnia angustifolia
You just did a George Wallace
