Help identifying this flower
Could someone help me identify the flower pictured here?
http://www.dwayne.org/UnknownFlower.html It looks something like cornflower, but the leaves/stems are wrong. The plant is located in Chantilly, Virginia, and was the first thing to bloom this spring - around mid-march - and is still blooming. The plant itself just appeared in our garden last fall (I hate it when that happens) and bloomed then as well. It never really died off through the winter. |

Dianthus, small cousin to the carnation, semi-evergreen. Maybe specifically Dianthus gratianopolitanus. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.

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. |
