As with the rose, the Perennial Carnation holds a myriad of meanings depending on the colour offered, from love and heartbreak to friendship, fascination and sweetness. Known as the flower of the God, the Carnation flower was originally a wild plant in Europe and known to have been used for the first time by Greeks and Romans in garlands. Today, their popularity remains instilled in the flower world due to their spicy fragrance, life-span of 2-3 weeks and availability all year long.
