I had not seen the Silene bolanthoides before! Would not mind to have a plant myself ....

Not strictly a dianthus bed but they have seeded themselves there and are happy.

I also very much regret that Zdenek Rehacek was not able to join us in Tabor.  :'(
I am very sorry but it was above my time possibilities - too busy in this time of the year (and also too old).

Zdenek, it is a pleasure to see your plants here- and  I hope I may still have the pleasure to meet you  in person.
