Dianthus

Dianthus is a genus of flowering plants that belong to the family Caryophyllaceae. They are also commonly known as "pinks" because of their pink coloration. Dianthus plants are native to Europe and Asia, but they are now grown in many other parts of the world.

Dianthus plants are popular for their attractive, fragrant flowers, which can come in a range of colors including pink, red, white, and purple. The flowers are typically five-petaled and have a serrated edge. The foliage of Dianthus plants is often grayish-green or blue-green, and is usually quite narrow and pointed.
