Actually she has isolated some of the plants with a netting, but I'll suggest the hand pollination trick.

Thanks.

I'm certain you're correct. She is probably saving seed from hybrids, so
she can't expect them to come true. If she can find an OP white or
yellow zinnia, can isolate the blooms by caging them, and hand
pollinate, she can probably get white or yellow blooms.
