Marcie said...: Hey M&M, it's an old fashioned form of dianthus. They are suppose to stand upright but the wind has blown most of them wonky. *g*

I love the scent of jasmine on the vine, but I find if I pick it and put it inside after a while it makes me think of cat urine.

That little pink flower is sweet, at first I thought it was a type of carnation - I'm really hopeless with what flowers are what.; April 27, 2009 at 4:30 PM
Marcie said...: Teakai, you are correct about the dianthus being a type of carnation. They are in the same family. This is the one commonly called Sweet William.; April 27, 2009 at 5:24 PM

The pink flower looks very much like what we call Phlox here in Finland.. don't think we have a diantus like that over here...
