January's Birth Flower: The Carnation
The meanings of carnations include fascination, distinction and
love. The carnation's history dates back to ancient Greek and Roman
times, when it was used in art and decor. Christians believe that the first
carnation bloomed on earth when Mary wept for Jesus as he carried his cross.
Carnations in these early times were
predominantly found in shades of pale pink and peach, but over the years the
palette of available colors has grown to include red, yellow, white, purple,
and even green. Throughout so many centuries of change, the popularity of the
carnation has remained undiminished. The fact that the carnation continues to
endure is a testament to its vast appeal.
