red carnation
Scarlet fringed bloom
A red carnation is a carnation flower in shades of red, traditionally symbolizing romantic love, admiration, or deep affection.
Red carnations appear in bouquets for Valentine's Day and anniversaries.
In some labor movements, the red carnation serves as a symbol of socialism and workers' rights—Portugal's 1974 revolution is called the Carnation Revolution for the flowers soldiers placed in their rifle barrels.
