Can anybody tell me what this plant is please?

Looks like #carnation 😊

@ericplummer .......definitely pinks/carnations Eric :)

ericplummer
Thank @hayleyaj and @flof1952 ! Wonder where it came from? Last year, I planted some mixed "rockery seeds" in that area, do you think it came from them?

hayleyaj
Possibly, or via our feathered friends! 😂😂

ericplummer
Bless our little feathered friends @hayleyaj 😊

@hayleyaj & @flof1952 I had a thought last night... last year I had some Dianthus plants quite close to this, could one of them have self seeded? Same family as Carnations, right?

hayleyaj
Yes Eric 😊
These are some cuttings I took months ago, the main plant is reflowering as well! Seasons have gone mad!
