The NASA has launched a flower garden on the International Space Station (ISS) that is expected to bloom in early 2016. A NASA astronaut is working on a project to grow zinnias on the space station to understand the effect of microgravity to fruiting plants like tomato.
Early in November, astronaut Kjell Lindgren started an experiment to determine if flowering plants can grow in space. The experiment is under the "Veggie" plant-growth system of the NASA, the same technology used to grow red romaine lettuce on the space station earlier in 2015.
