carnations
Fringed petal flowers
Carnations are flowering plants prized for their ruffled, fragrant blooms that come in white, pink, red, yellow, and purple varieties.
They are among the most popular cut flowers for bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres, often appearing at weddings, funerals, and on Mother's Day.
Different colors carry traditional meanings: red for love, white for luck, pink for gratitude.
