Can you identify this plant? http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/559190187bwnpRS?vhost=home-and-garden?

Answer 1

This appears to be a variety of dianthus. Look closely at the petals and the stems. The petals are jagged like a carnation and the stems long and reed-like, as in a carnation. That's because the carnation is also a variety of dianthus (Dianthus caryophyllus). To do more research, just google "dianthus," or go to your local plant nursery and ask for a certified nurseryman. They will probably be able to tell you lots about this particular plant. Also, Barnes and Noble has tons of books about flowers and plants. You can look it up there.

Answer 2

Dianthus gratianopolitanous 'Firewitch' (Cheddar Pinks)

Very common variety of Cheddar Pinks is 'Firewitch'. Here is a link to 'Firewitch': http://www.perennialresource.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=plants.plantDetail&plant_id=210

Another possible variety is 'Neon Star' ( http://www.perennialresource.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=plants.plantDetail&plant_id=214 ).

I think from the foliage color that we are looking at 'Firewitch'. Cheddar Pinks grow in full sun to part shade. They like hot dry locations, but need some supplimental watering during dry spells. Low growing (7-8"). Best used front of border. Good evergreen foliage. Hardy in zones 3-9.

It's defintely a dianthus, also called "pinks". They are many different varieties but this one looks exactly like the one in my garden (right down to the silver/grey foliage) that I believe is called "Cheddar Pink".
