Another plant from the friends garden, even she did not know the name for this… Location Dalhousie, Himachal Habitat cultivated/garden Habit herb Altitude 2000 mt Height 6-8 inches Dianthus caryophyllus Dianthus caryophyllus, sweet william?, carnation, blooming these days Leaves do look like sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) and not carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus), but perhaps it is early flowering, the flowers should form a terminal head in Sweat William. … you are right, D. chinensis, as flowers are few, D. barbatus has numerous flowers in terminal head
