I know it is not a great pic. A friend cut it here in Oklahoma. Any idea what it is?

From a bouquet? My first thought is Godetia but that was my first thought.....

Florists Carnation ..

No, it is not from a boquet. She works at a florist and she cannot ID it. She found it growing in someone's garden, they did not remember what it was either.

Edit: She did say it smells like stock, looks kind of like stock but has phlox leaves.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning that it was from a bouquet.

You can grow this type of Carnation but they require a warm climate to treat as a perennial, Dianthus caryophyllus. I grew some once but they aren't hardy here, they have long stems suitable for cutting.

There are some which are hardy and suitable for cutting.

Some of the flowers on yours look to be flopping, but the calyx certainly looks like Carnation. I don't know what else has a calyx like that? There does look to be more flowers on the stem than I would expect for a carnation but there's a lot of improvements with breeding.

Can you take a shot of a flower face on?

I'm beginning to wonder if it could be a double form of Godetia! The flowers don't somehow look right but I found one which does look similar..

I don't think it is any type of carnation. These girls have all been in the floral business for a long time and I am sure they would know if there was one that looked like that. They would snap it up and use it frequently.

I will share the Godetia possibility with them and see what she thinks.

I believe the stems are gone now but will check and see if better pics are available.

Thanks for your help!

It is double pink Soapwort, lol I could beat her for bad pictures the first time!

Its two desirable features would be it's delicious fragrance, and it's lovely colour in late August, when there is a breathing space in the perennial beds. When we came back at that time of the year after our teaching exchange year in England, the flowers hadn't been watered in about a month. The only blooms to greet us were the Pink Soapwort and the Rudbeckias.
One disadvantage is their tendency to spread quite easily. But their fragrance is a real plus.
