Red Dianthus and Silver Ragwort,
recently bought for two of my balcony boxes
(to replace the tired pansies from spring)
The name Dianthus is from the Greek words
dios ("god") and anthos ("flower")
… … …
The silvery plant seems to have many names in English/Latin:
Dusty Miller, Silver Ragwort, Jacobaea Maritima, Senecio cineraria …
In Swedish we call it “silverek” which translates “silver oak”.

God flower is soooo appropriate for these flowers. what a view you have of your flower box. these must be new and took over the pansy's right?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms! Happy RT!
ReplyDeleteMine's here.
Any flower--including dianthus--that's red will catch my eye and win my heart!
ReplyDeleteRED OR YELLOW?
If you have a penchant for red,
Then scarlet will go to your head;
But if it is gold
You’d rather behold,
Then plant yellow roses instead.

They fit in beautifully.
ReplyDeleteDianthus is such a pretty flower.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty combination! Ragwort, what a name! We have what looks like this all over the city in people's yards, but I think it is named something else, maybe Dusty Miller.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered about the silver plant, thanks for the info
ReplyDeletelove the red and silver white together
Those are pretty. And yes another color of flowers could popped out a good planter box. Happy Tuesday! Thanks for the visit!
