I was always disappointed in that because I think florists and grocery stores do this flower a disservice by spraying them all kinds of ugly colors, which has made me not appreciate them so much! These pink carnations are so gorgeous and now have changed my mind about this pretty flower!AnnMarie aka Vintage Junkie aka NaNahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969507879772949374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-42538090987510147682015-03-24T03:41:02.863-07:002015-03-24T03:41:02.863-07:00Pink carnations were my wedding flowers.

I planted some but they didn't grow so next spring I'll try again with the seeds I have left, hopefully I'll have a little more success.

They are so sweet. I've noticed that the large size carnations are not as lasting as the "button" ones, and sometimes not as fragrant. My favorite flowers are actually roses, though. :-)<br /><br />My husband has dubbed my "style" as eclectic cottage. :-)Mary E.
