The longer they bloom, the *sweeter* these Sweet William flowers are. :-)

The sweet William flowers (Dianthus Barbados) continue to delight. For wildflowers, they are surprisingly robust and lasting.

I am amazed how many variants of the Sweet WIlliam (Dianthus barbatus) flower are showing up in our backyard. All from a single blind planting of wildflower seeds.

A new variant of the Sweet William flowers (i.e. Dianthus) popped up today! They are a beautiful magenta color.

We cut these flowers from our yard on Saturday to take to a friend’s 80th birthday celebration. Wish we could likewise take some to @Kleen and @Weather_Rock_Wx, in gratitude for their May 2 and May 5 donations. These faithful donors—they pitch in every month!—are so appreciated.

These pretty pink flowers *just* started opening in our backyard. They are apparently Dianthus barbatus or the "sweet William”. They bloomed from a set of wildflower seeds I sowed last year in a wild area of our backyard.
