If the petals were more serrated they could be of the carnation family. Otherwise I can't enlighten you further, Andy!
In any case, a very nice radiant colour in the garden.

Well done, Eric!!!!
Actually, later on I got my phone camera to verify that it is in fact flax!

I love this word "flax", unknown to me. Brief and effective! Thanks for the teaching, Prof. ;-)

Well, apart from my natural didactic nature, I can no longer teach English as my voice was adversely affected by Covid (2 vocal cords were knocked out!). It is taking a long time to restore them! so at present I am a (poor) gentleman of leisure!

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to neira-Dan ^club

Possibly, Daniele but I could find lin / flax in English as being related to dianthus / carnations!.

Thank you all! I have two suggestions and will research further.

Andy Rodker ^club has added

OK, 5 minutes of research later, and I feel like an idiot! Of course they are a variety of dianthus / pink / carnation!!! How I ddn't get this straight away I have no idea!

Andy Rodker ^club has added

No, I was wrong. I have confirmation that they are flax, as some of you suggested, so well done you lot! I have put a Wikipedia link below the photo. Gad I finally put that one to rest!!!!

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Frany

Thank you for the link, Frany. But now I am more confused than before! Is it a 'lin' or is it a carnation! I thought I had the answer from Eric before but, unless they are the same family (which seems unlikely), I am more prone to go with you!

La couleur est superbe, j'en avais semé une année mais contrairement au lin bleu que se ressème celui ci est vite disparu !

I think this one one self-seeds as I think I remember it from a few years ago. (Not last year as I spent May, June and July in hospital!)

Keith Burton ^club

For what it's worth Andy...........I think Dan has it nailed. If you google scarlet or red flax you'll see lots of photos.

Whatever it is, the flowers are really beautiful and you've captured it nicely, especially the shadows.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I use an Android app on my phone called "Plantnet" which is generally pretty good at helping to identify flowers, plants and trees.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

My Google 'Lens' facility eventually came up trumps, Keith but I'll give Plantnet a shot next time! Thanks for the info. The plant is, as you say, Red Flax.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Peter_Private_Box ^club

Ha ha! On the other i believe it must be related to hemp and therefore marijuana! Can one smoke it? I rather doubt it!
Many thanks, Peter!.
