Supposedly 'white' Dianthus! (Dianthus)

Ooops! I went by the description of these, and they were supposed to be pure white....

It's me being a fuss-pot again, Raquel - they were bought for my new bed colour scheme, you see.

I have a Peony almost exactly the same colour and that was supposed to be pure whit! Very nice Dianthus, all the same!

I'm sure it was called 'White Joy' or something similar, Paul.
Shame, though - now I have to decide if I move it or if I can live with it...

Yes, it is - I will have to be content with it, Amy - I have no room elsewhere for three of these plants!

Is it white - white, Amy, not pink-white?

Really, I think I should stop whinging and get used to this...but thank you for the kind offer!

Thanks, Morgana.

Amy - how lovely! I've had to put the fan heater on this evening, I'm feeling so chilly! :-(

Its been like that here for the past couple of days in Warwickshire, only to day its milder and no rain they do say in mid August the weather will change not long to go hopefully.

Let's hope they're right this time, then! I shall be getting my winter clothes out, otherwise. :-(

I know the feeling as I have osteoarthritis so you feel the cold a lot more.
