A lot of things which you post are unusual looking Ed - whether they are birds, worms or foofies. These are also strange to me but they are lovely and you have captured them very well.
Actually I think they are called "pinks" - at least that's what my grandma called them. Beautiful shot - great bright color as I look at the snow falling!
You've captured those dianthus gratianopolitanus ('Mountain Mist') very well, Ed. Kathy is right as they are called 'Pinks' as well.
Very fine F² post.

They are called Dianthus or commonly referred to as 'pinks' as mentioned above. I love the bright pink color on these beauties. A lovely capture Ed ... wonderful detail too.
