Hallo all,
Mani ji, when i saw the foto, i thought it would be bartnelke (germanname),
which is Dianthus barbatus. Well, i don't know the fine differences between the
Dianthus varieties. But experts have spoken.
Wiki says: The name Dianthus is from the Greek words dios ("god") and anthos
("flower"), and was cited by the Greek botanist Theophrastus.
moreover specially for your son: Dianthus species are used as food plants by
the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Cabbage Moth, Double-striped
Pug, Large Yellow Underwing and The Lychnis.
Regards
Nalini
