Nature never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for taking the time to post this picture. :)

WOW! Gotta track one of them down.

That's fantastic! Sort of like a pansy crossed with dianthus! Thanks for posting it.

Now, THAT is an adorable flower! I normally grow only native plants, but I would be willing to make an exception for this one. Do you have any seeds, and would you like to trade?

Kniphofia, that is one very striking Dianthus bloom. Excellent photo.

Phenomenal photo. Impressed my supervisor so much she wants several in her yard. It really is a breath taker.-Bagpypr

so stunningly beautiful...awesome!

They're doing some amazing things with dianthuses now a days..... Wow!

I've got to agree with everyone else. The picture (and flower) are truly amazing. Thanks. Might have to change my mind now about the ole' flowerbed.

kniphofia,

do you know where this plant is commercially available, offhand?

Thanks for the lovely compliments everyone.

This was one of my favorite perennials last year. I bought it at a local nursery. It performed wonderfully in the garden producing a succession of blooms throughout the season.

I've found several online sources for the plant. Plant Delights Nursery has it. If you do a search you should find someone who carries it if you can't find it locally.

So awesome...will check out PDN's web site.

I wonder if this one would come back true to parental type from seed?

Here's a link to PDN:

Guess not about the seed q, since mom and dad are hybrids.

This plant has just blown me away!

Spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
