Could someone help me identify the flower pictured here?

It looks something like cornflower, but the leaves/stems are wrong.

It's a Dianthus, a carnation relative. Offhand it looks like
a cheddar pink to me (D. gratianopolitanus), but I don't sight-
recognize most cultivated Dianthus -- there are about 300 species
and a couple of bushels of hybrids.

I'm rather fond of the Caryophyllaceae...it's an easy family to
recognize, and often the flowers are spicy-fragrant.
