Latin name - Dianthus armeria

Dianthus armeria (Deptford Pink) is a species of Dianthus ("pink") native to most of Europe, from Portugal north to southern Scotland and southern Finland, and east to Ukraine and the Caucasus.

It is a herbaceous annual or biennial plant growing to 60 cm tall. The leaves are hairy, dark green, slender, up to 5 cm long. The flowers are 8–15 mm diameter, with five petals, bright reddish-pink; they are produced in small clusters at the top of the stems from early to late summer.

It is widely grown as an ornamental plant in gardens. Populations have been introduced to and have become naturalised in New Zealand and much of North America.[5] Deptford Pink is also sometimes called mountain pink, but this may refer to several different species.

Hallo Gert,
Onvoorstelbaar dat je zoveel zeldzame soorten in een paar bezoekjes aan de Veluwe kunt verzamelen.
Ook dit is weer een prachtige opname. Super scherp in schitterend heldere kleuren. Goede diepte in de foto met een vage achtergrond.
Groet,
Peter
