Carnation

Carnations are classic, long-lasting flowers with ruffled petals and a clove-like scent. Each bloom measures 2 to 3 inches across and shows many colors, from soft pastels to bright shades. Their sturdy stems grow 18 to 24 inches long. People often choose carnations to show love and admiration. They work well in bouquets, corsages, and arrangements for any event. Carnations last a long time in a vase and fit many styles.
