  1. From our yard recently, “sending” these blooms from our heart to @Kleen and @Weather_Rock_Wx, in gratitude for their June 2 and June 5 donations! How to donate, plus FAQs: bikemonterey.org/about/financi.

    About those blooms: Learn what we frequently do with lavender, and why we bought special thread at Slow Fiber, Monterey—better still, see a Salinas bike commuter we met when she was en route there June 5, to help her friend / the owner in that shop. bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-17t

  3. We cut these flowers from our yard on Saturday to take to a friend’s 80th birthday celebration. Wish we could likewise take some to @Kleen and @Weather_Rock_Wx, in gratitude for their May 2 and May 5 donations. These faithful donors—they pitch in every month!—are so appreciated.

  5. It's starting to be #iris season too. Not sure what these little ones are, Siberian iris maybe. The #dianthus is "meh" this year. Centered is a marshmallow shasta #daisy that got bugs; the blooms _really_ didn't care for malathion, so they got snipped.

    Wait a minute — who's hiding back there‽ 😼

  6. #Dianthus is a key #herb used in #Chinese #TraditionalMedicine aka #TCM to treat #urinary difficulties. In #Western #HerbalMedicine, the entire plant is used as a bitter tonic herb that stimulates urinary system & #digestive systems. #DianthusChinensis is classified as #antibacterial, #diuretic, #emmenagogue & #febrifuge.

    Only the flower petals are edible to humans but not for your pets. You can sugar flowers into candy. Or add petals to salads.

  7. 2) NADESHIKO
    Nadeshiko (撫子) are counted as a fall flower, but because they can bloom from as early as late spring, they're also known as 'everlasting summer' (常夏).

    'Nade' (撫) means 'caress'...people considered the flowers so beautiful that you could not help but touch them.

    Dianthus symbolize cheerfulness, innocence, constancy and feminine beauty. In Edo times the flower was used in New Year decorations that followed a year of natural disasters and misfortune.

  10. Winter garden is on my mind because its stars -- like these #hellebores -- are looking so jolly now. Here with #salvia, #dianthus and the David Austin Crocus rose.

  11. Kyoto sweets inspired by dianthus flowers.

    greeting the stars
    of Tanabata
    at my hut, pinks
    星迎庵はなでしこさくのみぞ
    -Kobayashi Issa (小林一茶).

    In hanakotoba (花言葉), the 'language of flowers', the family of pinks (dianthus) represent cheerfulness, innocence, constancy in love, talent and pure love.
    Poetically dianthus symbolize late summer.

  12. Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen. Wenn ihr mögt, lasst eure #diekleinendinge hier.

    Hier: gestern an einer tolle Führung zu Hecken, Streuobstwiesen und Blumenwiesen teilgenommen. Die Kartäusernelke ist eine typische Art von mageren Trockenrasen. Bestäubt wird sie von Schmetterlingen deren Saugrüssel den Nektar am Ende der langen Blütenröhren erreicht. #Biodiversität #Artenschutz #Trockenrasen #dianthus

  14. Today for you (and me) is my garden in peak summer colours, taken back in June. What I love most are the roses and dianthus because the perfume is marvellous. On the wall are the pears I've trained into a vague diamond pattern.
