Carnations are among the world's most beloved cut flowers, prized for their ruffled petals, long vase life, and symbolic meaning of admiration and affection. Originally cultivated in the Mediterranean, these hardy flowering plants now grow in nearly every color imaginable and have become a staple of floral arrangements for centuries. The distinctive frilly, layered petals visible in this design are what give carnations their romantic appeal—each bloom can contain dozens of delicate folds that create texture and movement.
