Carnations!

These were among my experiments this year, and have done very well inn an extremely hot and windy summer. Currently they have lots of buds, but none are open quite yet. I am hoping they have the spicy fragrance I remember from childhood. I will be ordering them again

I sowed the seeds and they germinate and then died. It might have been something I did but I haven't sowed the remaining seeds I have left.
