    These are pictures of my raspberry parfait Dianthus. It usually flowers for a long time and I often get a second show... I love the color.

    Whenever I am asked if I have a favorite flower...I stop and think . Whatever is blooming at the time is what comes to mind but I have so many favorites...I can't really pick one, I love them all.

    Whoa, what a striking color. I don't like raspberries, the fruit or juice, but the raspberry color of those dianthus makes me drool.

    I need to add this one to my list for next year.

    Hi

    Those are just wonderful Sherry8
    The color is so alive. I wonder: Is Dianthus edible??

    The pink, white and red ones are and have a clove like flavor. I don't know about the hybrids like Raspberry Parfait.

    Wow what a wonderful burst of color. I like that particular flower myself. I should plant more in mass because the outcome is breath-taking. Pretty pics.

    That is such a very pretty color. Dianthuses are such a pretty flower anyway, they might come close to my favorite flower.

    I have one called "Strawberry Parfait" that is similar but the color looks washed out compared to yours. I'll be looking for that one too!
