This plant may have escaped from a garden somewhere. It is easy to see that the flowers
look similar to Maiden Pink (Dianthus deltoides). Key:
- Plants with closely crowded, sessile or short-pedicellate flowers (terminal cymes).
- Calyx complete glabrous (hairless) or sometimes only the lobes pubescent (hairy).
- Stem leaf blades lanceolate to oblanceolate (15-20 mm wide). Calyx lobes glabrous.
