 Found this blooming in one of my beds, I didn't plant it and I haven't found it in any of my wildflower field guides. It's about Knee high (scientific right?😁),the plant's form tricked me into thinking maybe it was some sort of aster but obviously it's not with that bloom. It's located in full sun by a large stone so it gets a lot of radiant heat (also by asphalt road, just beyond right of way) so it may be an early bloom. Zone 8, SE coastal plain/Sandhills, soil is a hard sandy loam. I messed up the photo of the whole plant but can provide a retake if needed. |

I grow a fair amount of dianthus, almost certain it's not Sweet William. The structure is completely different. The Pinks are a large family though so it may be related.  |

| Clearly related to a Dianthus, although I will also think that this is indeed a sweet william. Only very few Dianthus sp or hybrids are available in my place, only couple or so D barbatus available, since most of biennial would not flowers here, but annual variety sometimes available as well as few perennial that can flowers in tropics. Those I ever grow really looks like yours, especially the annual form. |
