A 5-petal pink flower on a thin, grass-like stalk. The flower petals are toothed at
the tip. There are white and dark red dots at the center of the flower. Leaves are
opposite and lanceolate in shape. They clasp the stem. The stem is hairless. Maiden
Pink is similar to Deptford Pink (Dianthus armeria) except that Deptford Pink
has flowers in clusters atop a stiff erect stem rather than the solitary flower for
Maiden Pink.
