I had a beautiful little plant in my garden one year that had little flowers that were white with a little pink in the middle and it had "feathery" edges, or more like edges that looked like they went through a shredder. It was a delicate little flower and when I went out to the garden in the evening I could smell it's scent from several feet away. Does anyone have any idea of what this may have been? I thought it was a dianthus (spelling?) but now that I planted those I see that they are not the same. Help?!!

Could you post a picture? The description sounds like dianthus, but mine don't have any scent.

It sounds like dianthus to me too and there are hundreds of varieties. What about the variety Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William). I don't know how to post a pic yet, but it has a really nice scent, kinda spicy???
