Dianthus caryophyllus

My early flowering 50p carnation I bought in B and Q last year is flowering too. I thought it was pink..

Deborah are you sure it's a carnation? The leaves and flower looks very much like a camellia 🤔 @DeborahBanks

Hmm?.. I didnt think i put my red camellia there. Oh heck! It's very small though and covered in buds. I'll have a better look tomorrow when it's not blowing a gale. Thanks @jpea I think you are right though.

I agree I don’t think it’s a carnation Deb def more a Camellia 😁

The buds certainly look like carnation buds, and the silvery foliage. Pretty 😍

I'm so confused, Its too low growing to be a camellia and the only red camellia I have is lady Campbell and it's much bigger and the leaves are different. I'm back to thinking it's a carnation.

@DeborahBanks I’m with you 👍🏻

Beautiful 😊😊♥️♥️
