Date Location Notes Images
June 23, 2012 Southeastern, New Hampshire This plant may have escaped from a garden somewhere. It is easy to see that the flowers look similar to Maiden Pink (Dianthus deltoides). Key:
  • Plants with closely crowded, sessile or short-pedicellate flowers (terminal cymes).
  • Calyx complete glabrous (hairless) or sometimes only the lobes pubescent (hairy).
  • Stem leaf blades lanceolate to oblanceolate (15-20 mm wide). Calyx lobes glabrous.
