Today’s Flowers: Dianthus
November 30th, 2008 by Leora
This dianthus is the last flower in my front yard, other than a straggly, lanky, tall yellow snapdragon. It waves its purplish pink petals at us, like a flag of surrender to the oncoming winter months.
Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, Luiz, for this lovely and comforting meme.
bright and beautiful!
very cute how the petals look like waving hands.
Very beautiful flower!

I like the little flower’s delicacy.
Your picture brightens my day..
Very nice close- up shot.
It is cold and windy in Toronto Canada.
– Cheers.
Or a brave Lone Ranger surviving against all odds. Ever thought of rewarding it by potting it up and having it on your window sill?
What a beautiful flower, a very hardy little thing to survive this cold weather we’re having. Great photo!
Very nice flower – in Nature.
nice to see a little colour in your garden at this time of year.

Even in the winter, managed to shoot a solitary flower of intense color, congratulations. I thank you for sharing.
hugs, Denise
I love those! Can never remember what they’re called, though. Glad you can… Shavua tov.
Lovely pink. I think they’re very strong flowers too.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of those.
That’s a beautiful, delicate flower.
like the pink/magenta color of the dianthus…so sweet.
It is sad to say that we have a last flower in our garden but then we can dream about the flowers that will grace our Spring gardens and wake us from a long winter hibernation! I post my last pedals also.
Have a good week!
Leora: I do love that little flower and definitely one which will return, you capture it beautifully.
How pretty, it is always nice to see some color
Very nice shot. I really like that color. It’s hard to watch the flowers disappear isn’t it?
It is a comforting meme after recent events….thank you for finding a nice way to correct my spelling of Ithaca…Your way looks much better than mine….I have been playing with the themes. I wish I could get one that would do what I really want. But playing with it has been a good stress reducer for me as I am not yet up to doing all the things that need to be done..
A lovely little bloom captured well!
Dianthus are so wonderful, clumping form or ground cover in various colors too.
Lovely little flower. I’m so spoiled since flowers bloom here year round.
