Dianthus

Lovely, I like the scent of these too.

Thanks. Such a pleasure to have around. I'm thinking of beginning a collection that I bring in to over winter. Should get blooms midwinter too, with my growlight.

Lovely flowers!!!!!!!

GT:

Wow! That look like a big flower.

Thanks. These mini carnations are great being so large and full. My favorite form.

GT:

That's pretty incredible for a "mini carnation".

Dianthus caryophyllus is the true carnation but seldom seen sold anymore with the advance of cultivars like this one, called pinks and commonly sold in floral departments as mini carnations. I prefer them.

GT:

I like the larger carnations myself. The fragrance must be terrific! : > )
