Description
The Carnation flower, scientifically known as Dianthus caryophyllus, is a beloved bloom recognized for its ruffled petals and clove-like fragrance. Carnations come in a wide array of colors, including classic pink, white, red, yellow, and even green, with each color often symbolizing different sentiments—such as red for love, white for purity, and pink for gratitude.
The petals of a Carnation are densely packed and intricately frilled, giving the flower a textured, almost lace-like appearance. These blooms are typically found atop long, slender stems with narrow, bluish-green leaves. The Carnation’s durability and long-lasting nature make it a popular choice for bouquets, boutonnieres, and floral arrangements, as well as for various cultural and celebratory occasions.
In gardens, Carnations are valued for their resilience and ability to bloom over an extended period, often from late spring to early summer. Their combination of beauty, fragrance, and symbolic meaning has made them a favorite flower worldwide.
