Dianthus

This is labeled dianthus... The name is the same in English and Japanese. The botanical name is Dianthus ssp. I cannot figure out more detailed things.







In general, the plants in Dianthus group are called 'dianthus' except for carnations. In Japan they are sometimes called 'Nadeshiko', so we might call them 'Nadeshiko', though I am not so sure.


The Japanese version of this article is here!
