This is not dianthus barbatus, it's a scabiosa atropurpurea:

Thanks. They must have had it mislabeled. How do I have the picture removed?

I moved it to the Scabiosa atropurpurea entry.

Thank you! I think the mix-up was on my end, not mislabeling at the garden, because I went back to my Chocolate Garden article to change the name there, and I had it right in the article.

So sorry I wasn't more careful to double-check before I submitted! I'll be more watchful in the future!

Nice article!

Psst, Joan, according to the image in her article, it should have gone under Scabiosa atropurpurea 'Black' aka Ace of Spades

Works for me. The photo has been moved to the 'Ace of Spades' entry.

Bookerc1, don't worry about it. We all make mistakes. I know I've made my share and then some. :)
