Smell it! If it has a truly heavenly scent, it is probably a Sweet William.
My mom grew these as one of her favorites, and I really loved hanging out with her working in them because they were so sweet smelling a nice looking.
Was that in the early '50s??? Wow, and they are still on this earth and still looking very pretty, as your shot shows.

They grow low to the ground and I'm too old to bend down that far

I believe Angky is right about this one. The light colored erose edges of the petals make them stand out. Very pretty flower and a very pretty capture. Nice colors.

Bend down?!
I did that recently! And I'm still walking around sniffing the ground!
Pretending to be looking for Sweet Williams, but my weiner dog thinks I'm trying to beat him to something!
