Hope there will be many more of these to come soon Giles?

Can you name the first two little dianthus please? A little conundrum though. Dianthus like lime. Apparently (according to another thread) the Vitaliana beside the first one requires an acid soil, yet there they both are.....?

Sorry, Lesley. They weren't labelled. They were both in limestone sinks.
A PM to Paul Cumbleton ('Wisley') would probably come up with the answer though.

Lesley,
I think the first one (040) might be D. 'Conwy Star' - one of the many excellent dwarf hybrids from Aberconwy nurseries - not quite sure though - some are quite similar  :-\

Thank you gentlemen. If a named hybrid, it's not likely to find its way here. Not as a plant anyway. Seed maybe and one would need to know the parents. These tiny forms for troughs are very charming. We have a few but we should be working on them ourselves rather than just mourning what we can't have. Oh to be 30 years younger. :)

Lesley,

Given that they don't take long from seed it shouldn't be too much problem.  You've got a lot of years left in you yet (I know, I've met you and you're FAR from falling off the perch!!  ;D  ;)) to breed some Dianthus worthy of their place in your garden.  Some of these little-uns certainly do look special enough to try seed from them just on the chance you get interesting offspring.  I've had nothing to do with any of these really tiny ones, although I would imagine that some of them would be here in Aus through importing.  I think growing these from seed would be well and truly worth the effort. 8)
