Wildflower - Deptford Pink

I'm finding Deptford Pinks blooming along the roads and fields at our cabin property. The Deptford Pink has attractive flowers, but they are quite small and can be overlooked around much larger and showier wildflower. Yet another native of Eurasia that escaped from gardens and now naturalized throughout the Northeast. It is listed as an invasive plant that will over take roadsides, ditches and fields, but I haven't seen any problems with this plant on our property.




Each flower is about 1/3 in. across.
