Carnations

Carnations, the flowers with fluffy and frilled petals, are often found tucked behind bigger blooms in a floral arrangement. But these beautiful blooms deserve to be featured prominently in your floral arrangement this Mother’s Day. Available in many different colors, carnations symbolize love, distinction, and fascination, and they make a great choice for a Mother’s Day floral design. Your practical mother will appreciate them for their cinnamon scent and their long-lasting quality.

Like roses, different colors of carnations also express different meanings. Light red carnations represent admiration, white carnation symbolizes, and pink carnations – Oh, they have an interesting story hidden behind the fluffy pink petals.

According to Christian legend, pink carnations first grew from the ground where Virgin Mary shed tears over Jesus’s death. And, this makes pink carnations a symbol of eternal Mother’s Love. No wonder this flower is a perfect choice to celebrate Mother’s Day!
