A Pleasant Surprise

I have a little pathway that runs from our well house to an old shed. Last year I planted daffodils and dianthus alternating all the way down the side of the little path. The daffodils are perennials and are starting to come up again. The dianthus are annuals and were supposed to die off over the winter. I noticed over the winter there were several of the dianthus plants that were still green and seemed to be still alive. As the weather has warmed up a bit I've been watching to see if the plants will go ahead and die off or if they will begin growing again. The other day much to my surprise I found a little flower on one of the plants. I'm so curious to see if these little plants will survive another spring and summer or not!
