Thank you … Dianthus id is always a problem for me but this observation makes sense
this is most likely Bath’s Pink Dianthus
Dianthus gratianopolitanus in Georgia there is an annual tradition of selecting a unique plant every year at the university of Georgia for more than fifty years.
i quote: ‘The Georgia Gold Medal Plant Program promotes the use of superior ornamental plants in Georgia. It represents the combined effort of the State Botanical Garden of Georgia; the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension; University faculty members; and nurserymen, flower growers, garden retailers and landscape professionals across the state.” end quote
And they had chosen this plant with single flower per inflorescence of Dianthus, way back in 1994 out of a plethora
and 200 or more species in the world.
