Carnations are among the oldest cultivated flowers, prized for their longevity, ruffled petals, and symbolic meaning of gratitude and admiration. Their clustered, densely-petaled blooms come in nearly every color except true blue, making them popular in both fresh arrangements and decorative arts. The flower's sturdy nature and long vase life have made it a florist staple for over two millennia.
