Hello Ghostwriter, thanks for stopping by. I had a white carnation in my buttonhole on my wedding in 1974
Such a gorgeous shot of this flower. Carnations are great because they stay fresh for so much longer than other flowers.
I just love their heady smell in the air at springtime. Thank you, Carol, for sharing the interesting information.
You are very welcome, thank you for sharing the beauty.
Carnations are my husband’s favorite, so that means I love them as well.
