Return on Investment - incredible!

What Does Return On Investment - ROI Mean?
A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments. To calculate ROI, the benefit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.

(Benefit of investment) immeasurable delight
(Cost of investment) $1.67 plus tax

These zinnias, grown from Ferry-Morse "Zinnia, State Fair, Giant, Mixed Colors" seeds,  have given me, the bees, and the butterflies immeasurable delight all season. I think this investment will continue to yield high returns as the zinnias are already self-seeding.

Unlike zinnias purchased as plants from the garden center, these have so many different happy faces!  (Unfortunately, they also have powdery mildew - but I overlook that as I enjoy the blooms!)

In the picture below, the zinnias are on the right - just to give you an idea of their height.
What kind of return are you getting on your garden investments?  I'm sure they are just as incredible as mine!
