Classic Carnations!
Carnations are perhaps one of the most popular flowers in the world. Due to the fact that carnations last long even when cut, carnations
are very popular as boutonnieres, in corsages, bouquets, and in a wide range of floral arrangements.
Of the several kinds of Carnations, the three most common are annual carnations, border carnations and perpetual-flowering carnations.
Carnations are also commonly referred to by their scientific name, "Dianthus", the name given by the Greek botanist Theopharastus.
Carnations got the name Dianthus from two Greek Words - "dios", referring to the god Zeus, and "anthos", meaning flower. Carnations are
thus "The Flowers of God".
