Dianthus blooms from spring all through summer. It's a cousin to the greenhouse grown carnations you're used to seeing. The color on this one was striking.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Kathy, the Dutch name for these very fine flowers are 'Boerenpronkers' (Farmer's Pride or showing off by farmers, or something similar, because it can't be translated literally) because in my country in the past they could in general be found on the yards of farmhouses.
Perfectly taken image again, my friend! Thanks for this beauty!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

I like dianthus because of their wonderful scent. The ones I've had were biennials. The colors on this one are outstanding.
