Dianthus


Dianthus

This very bright pink Dianthus is another plant that has not been looking good but has now burst into bloom. The scent of Cloves from them is wonderful.

Striking hot pink! I agree, the scent is really lovely, Shirley. Mine are almost open.

Kate, I think I should cut them and put them in the house as the perfume is so strong. You will love yours ... :o)

Beautiful flowers, Shirley! 👍🏻 I have some seedling Carnations that I repotted a few weeks ago & a few have flower buds that will open in a couple of weeks time. 👍🏻

Thanks David, I have cut seven for the house now as the scent is lovely indoors. Your Carnations will be lovely before long.

I just planted them out this afternoon into 3 small troughs on the middle bar of the balcony railings. They are my wife's favourite flower & they remind her much of Spain!

This is the first time I've had so many plants in nearly 20 years! Some already have buds so in a few weeks time they should be flowering. If we have a hot summer they will flower very well.

David, your balcony will be looking wonderful in a little while!

That's what I hope as well!
