This square photo is a closeup of Red Campion (Silene dioica) blooming in my garden. Despite the name the flowers are not red, they are pink. Each of the small blooms has 10 petals and a pale green center rimmed in white. There is a tiny ant on one of the petals. The background of the photo is filled with green leaves.

This is Red Campion blooming in my garden. I added these last fall; it's thrilling to see them flowering for the first time.

Red campion in blossom!
Did you know that Red campions have male and female individual plants, like nettles? how is the the sex ratio, flowering time comparing the sexes.
