Flowers and a spicy scent put me on the path for this stroll.
As you view these Pinks I want you to think 'cloves'. I am charmed by the sweet little flower which must be in the carnation family. They are always worth a kneeling down to take away a whiff or two. And so I looked around for more PINK and found....

I must jump off the beaten path for a quick peek at a vibrant accent color of yellow -
the lovely and charming Iris .
I wonder who else is taking folks for a stroll today. Check out

Lovely pinks! I wish I could smell the clove pinks! I have a few dianthas too, but none quite smell like cloves. Thus, I am always on the look out for a variety that really does!
Zinnias already! Wow! :D
The zinnias were nursery bought. I have the pinks in a couple of places and hope they fill in their little corners of the world for sharing and vases in the house.
Gorgeous flowers, gorgeous colors! I love to try and focus on one color and see what else I can find.
Beautiful!
happy day!

Marcia,
So glad you came by to stroll around our yard with me. We have had rain this morning and everything looks fresh and perky.
You have some lovely flowes. I like the blossoms on your Hostas - mine are a rather ordinary mauve - not terribly exciting, though I have them for the foliage. Which the slugs and snails love.
Where we used to live we had a whole row of the most gloriously scented double white pinks. The old fashioned sort. They smelt absolutely fantastic! But we have acidic soil now and pinks don't like it much. I have had them in pots, I really must try again!
Gilly,
Oops, the angle I took the picture of the Corral Bells encluded the Hosta and gave the wrong impression. My Hosta also has the ordinary purple flowers you mention and so I'm sorry for the confusion.
I love to pick one of the Pinks and carry it around just so I can have a sniff every now and then. So sorry you can't grow them where you now live.
