Meaning: Pride & Beauty

Buy­ing & Caring:

  • Buy car­na­tions with closed buds which will open over the next few days after conditioning.
  • When con­di­tion­ing, be sure to cut above one of the nodes that runs up the flow­er’s stalk; this will allow the stem to more eas­i­ly draw the water it needs.
  • Car­na­tions are espe­cial­ly sen­si­tive to eth­yl­ene gas which caus­es flow­ers to dete­ri­o­rate rapid­ly. Keep the blooms away from sources of this gas, which include ripen­ing fruits like apples, pears and bananas. 
    Dahlias, Carnations, Protea for weddings!

    Hot pink car­na­tions are teamed up with orange ros­es, orange pin­cush­ion pro­tea and fab­u­lous bi-col­or dahlias in this sin­­gle-bloom vase designs for a wed­ding we did at The Sina­tra Res­i­dence in Palm Springs. Flow­ers by Flower Duet. Pho­to by Kit Wertz
