little pink

Little pinks abandoned the orthodox concept of traditional patriotism that regards the state as a parent or other sublime object, thinking of the country as an idol in the entertainment consumer culture, and expecting to participate in the idol's construction and cultivation process. This nationalism can be called "fandom nationalism."

This elegant little pink is an old inhabitant of the gardens, having been first introduced in 1759, but it is still rare, being met with only in a few curious collections, although few plants are better suited to ornament rockwork.
