Etymology
The term 'zinnia' comes from the name of German botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn, who lived during the 18th century. Zinnias were introduced to Europe from North America in the early 19th century and quickly became popular due to their bright colors and ease of cultivation. They were classified into various species, with the most common ones being Zinnia elegans and Zinnia angustifolia. The plant's ability to withstand drought and its resistance to pests have made zinnias a favorite among gardeners. Their use in ornamental gardening has also led to the development of many hybrid varieties, enhancing their popularity in floral designs.
