January’s Flower

Carnation

The delicate and pretty carnation is known scientifically as dianthus caryophyllus which translated means “flower of love” or “flower of the gods” and is a flower that has been revered throughout the ages. carnations-white-red-pink The carnation was known in ancient Greece and Rome and is one of the world’s oldest cultivated flowers appreciated for its layered beauty, its spicy fragrance and longstanding blooms. Christians understand that carnations are the Virgin Mary’s tears transformed into objects of natural beauty arising from the earth when her teardrops fell at the feet of Jesus as he carried his cross to the Golgotha where he was crucified. Carnations signify love, dignity and fascination with all things. Light red carnations, for example, are often used to convey admiration or infatuation, whereas the dark red blossoms point to deeper levels of love and affection. White carnations represent purity and good luck, while pink carnations express sincere gratitude.
