There is at least one bloom open on each of my dianthus plants. These are the ones that hadn't opened at my last posting on dianthus. 'Tiny Rubies' (above) has opened a few more flowers, but they certainly aren't ruby-colored, and there aren't very many. I hope next year there will be more.
This noid dianthus died back to the ground this winter, but came back surprisingly strongly. Although I bought it as 'Firewitch', it clearly isn't. Even so, it is worth keeping.
'Oakington' has what I would consider the standard common dianthus shape and form. I can't say that I'm terribly excited by it.
This is the first bloom on 'Laced Romeo' and it isn't quite what I expected. Sometimes a flower of the laced varieties isn't representative of the typical bloom, so I'll see what shows as more blooms open. But even this bloom is very cool.
'Gloriosa' reminds me of a bird's feather.

Simply gorgeous photos!
Thanks for sharing those indeed gorgeous pictures (but, sorry I have to say it, of course your irises are great too, but why did you have to put a watermark on the photos, now it looks a bit like the top of a chocolate box, I’m sorry again).
I put the watermark on the photos because I'm considering submitting the photos for publication. I suppose that I still consider this blog my personal journal and need to truly understand that it is a public domain. As such, that post has been deleted and I will henceforth be only posting those photos that I will not be considering for publication. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
