Dianthus

It's been raining all day today so a few minutes ago I went outside and snapped this pot of colourful Dianthus.. Now I'm wet and so is my camera. The things we do for 365!!

That is a nice cheery shot - great vibrant colours

But these do look so pretty wet, I have a close up of one that I do in a card.

Lovely shot considering it was raining.... is the common name for these 'Sweet William' ?

@virtualbrownie @claireuk @foxes37 Thank you for your comments, ladies

@dizzyd Thank you Helen. Sweet Williams are one particular type of dianthus (dianthus barbatus) which grows quite tall and those are the ones sold as cut flowers. Ours are a smaller variety.
