Sweet William


Sweet William growing under a fence in Keachi, Louisiana

If you Google "Sweet William" you will find images of what most people call dianthus, also known as pinks.  But in this part of the world, these fragrant clusters of purple flowers are called Sweet William.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Pretty field. I especially like that wooden fence. Sweet William, you say? Never heard of it before -- interesting.

I love everything about this picture. I would love to be sitting right next to you in the shade and taking pictures. Beautiful fence!
