Carnation Bouquets

Carnations generally express love, fascination and distinction when offered in bouquets, or elegance, consideration and admiration when occurring in arrangements with other types of flowers. Carnation bouquets are appropriate in formal situations, often being given in academic situations to teachers, schoolgirls and female students with outstanding achievements. A flower arrangement of carnations can be a proper choice for a birthday or celebration, to show your appreciation and affection for the mother, colleague or friend. Carnation was used in ornaments since ancient times, gaining many meanings throughout history, and has appeared in many legends. Carnations symbolism varies depending on their color: the red transmit deep love, admiration and affection for the family, while pink and white carnations represent luck and purity.

Carnation’s scientific name comes from the Latin words dios and anthos meaning god and flower and the Romans used to wear them in garlands as a mark of distinction and health or offer them as tribute to the gods to get various favors or help them in agriculture. This plant prefers well-drained soils and needs a lot of light. In ideal conditions, the strain can grow up to 80 centimeters and the leaves are thin and long, with a greenish-blue hue. The flowers give off a pleasant aroma, slightly sweet, but odorless varieties can be grown specifically to be used for buttonholes. An arrangement of carnations placed in the living room or office can help relieve stress and relax. Because of the message of these flowers, bouquets of carnations can be ordered in any occasion, to congratulate a loved one or to show gratitude.
