Silene chalcedonica, Brandende liefde

Silene chalcedonica (syn. Lychnis chalcedonica), the Maltese-crossor scarlet lychnis, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to central and eastern Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and northwestern China. Other common names include flower of Bristol, Jerusalem cross and nonesuch ( Wikipedia)

But I love the Dutch name ``Brandende liefde`` the best. Translated : `` Burning love ``
The contrasting complimentary colors are great and the Dutch name - right on the money.

Brilliant red- I wonder why it's called Jerusalem Cross- the Dutch name is obviously more akin to the flower!

I recognise your photos without looking at the name of the author :) I used to have this plant in my garden. Very nice, though its bright red is not easy to pair with other species. A beautiful field of them in your photo, good focus throughout. Pity that 'flat' does not mean something like 'nice' - your photographs would be the flattest in all 365 :)
