I think that Dianthus leucophaeus began blooming last night, but I'm not sure since I have not been out in the garden early enough or late enough lately. This diminutive charmer blooms only at night, and flowers close quickly once touched by the sun. I sniffed the flowers this morning, and there was no scent, unlike last year, in the evening, when it smelled like a nice hoppy beer. I'll have to try again tonight, when the flowers first open. Unfortunately I didn't have time this morning, during my mad prep to get to the office, to take nicer photos.
