	Dianthus do really well in cooler weather in Ansteorra.  The single
pepto-bismal pink ones have a fairly pleasant smell.  I have grown them and
tey do well in the ground and in containers.....

Magdalena - they are easy to find.  "Gardens" on 38 by Mo-Pac have really
nice selections of them and sometimes carries older varieties.

There is a company (southern Seed Exchange, I think) that carry dianthus
varieties they can document from the 17th Century.  I was amazed.
Somewhere at home I have a catalog with the address and such... I 'll look
around.....
