SWEET WILLIAM... - a photo on Flickriver

SWEET WILLIAM...

Perfect harmony and light.
Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William) is a species of Dianthus, small Carnation, native to the mountains of southern Europe from the Pyrenees east to the Carpathians and the Balkans, with a variety in northeastern China, Korea, and south easternmost Russia.
The flowers are produced in a dense cluster of up to 30 at the top of the stems and have a spicy, clove like scent; each flower is 2–3 cm diameter with five petals with serrated edges; in wild plants the petals are red with a white base.
In the Victorian language of flowers, Sweet William symbolises gallantry.
Sweet William is a good candidate for a naturalistic garden because its nectar attracts birds, bees and butterflies.
Its flowers are considered edible...
I love them because of their unbelievable 'variety', both in colours and variegations!
They last a long time in a vase, real beauties.

All the best and thank you, M, (*_*)
