Damn Flowers.
That's Raphaella's catchall term for things she doesn't know the name of.
These started showing up in her flower beds. Since I'd never seen them before, I asked her what they were and where they came from. She had no idea what they were called; they came from some seeds she stole from a neighbor.
Any idea as to what these are?

They look a bit like cheddar pinks (dianthus) but stalked like valerian, very curious!
It looked like a kind of dianthus, but I wasn't sure. I'm not very good with flowers.
Had a bunch of these in my flowerbed, but pulled them out this year. They were getting a little bit too much to handle. I liked the color, though. Raphaella's new plants would make a nice replacement.
Sweet William. My husband cultivates them. They are perennials. Some are bicolored. We have them all over the yard. Enjoy!
I'm looking for a lot of self-seeding annuals and perennials to fill in spaces as, after this year, the garden will no longer be my problem (not that it ever was a problem, mind you) and I know that the landlord won't take much care of it. As am planning to go to a garden store this weekend, I'll be looking for Pinks/Williams, as I like them a lot.
