This is a type of dianthus I was not familiar with. It is dianthus barbatus and instead of the individual flowers the flowers form a ball. This one was a spectacular color and it was called "Heart Attack".

No wonder that this blood-red bunch is called "heart attack". You have got that color perfectly.

Excellent lighting and the well handled, for photography, difficult red colors makes this to a cheerful image, Kathy.

PS: the botanical name Dianthus is derived from dios, and anthos, so a divine flower. Probably the Greek Theophrastus (371-287 BC) gave the plant this name.

A splendid shot of this beauty Kathy.
This multi headed type of dianthus is known to me as "Sweet William" but this is a new colour ! Lovely

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
