These were on a garden tour I went to yesterday, and everybody was crazy about them but didn't know what they were! The homeowner couldn't remember either. She was told it was an annual, but that it readily reseeds itself. ![[Linked Image]](http://inlinethumb45.webshots.com/44652/2559729890079470192S200x200Q85.jpg)

I love that plant, but can't find what it is either. The growing habit reminds me of dianthus, but nothing like that comes up in a search?

I've been looking for a while. It does seem like a dianthus. Can you get a close up of the center of the individual flowers?

Yep - you got it Kenny! I ended up finding seeds on eBay (from Australia, no less) and am anxiously awaiting them. Thanks much. Sandy

They look like nice flowers - never seen 'em before.
When sorting seeds, do not whistle.
