Mother’s Day Carnations

Samantha Green Wednesday, April 20, 2011

Do you know the story behind the traditional Mother's Day carnation?

As one of the most popular flowers in the world, the carnation is widely appreciated and enjoyed. Carnations are available in a wide variety of colors from white to purple, though they can most commonly be found in pink, peach and other pastels. They are generally symbolic of fascination, distinction, and love. Carnations are a very interesting flower, with a very interesting past, which is why we here at ProFlowers have devoted this section on our blog to all things Carnation!
