Have a good one
Sir, the year growing ancient,
Not yet on summer's death nor on the birth
Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o' th' season
Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors,
Which some call nature's bastards.
(William Shakespeare)

Thanks to [https://www.flickr.com/photos/aurelia-m-perez] for the title 😊
Unbelievably the carnation has come from a bouquet that was bought over a month ago for our 35th Anniversary. The tulips are two weeks old. They were ķindly given to us by our next door neighbour when we went into Covid isolation.....
Thanks for visiting.
PLEASE take care out there....

Carnations are rich with symbolism. It's use dates back to 2000 years.
Red carnation is often a symbol for deep love and affection.
HMM!
Commonly known as the carnation or clove pink, it is a species of Dianthus. It is probably native to the Mediterranean region but its exact range is unknown due to extensive cultivation for the last 2,000 years. It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing up to 80 cm tall. The leaves are glaucous greyish green to blue-green, slender, up to 15 cm long. The flowers are produced singly or up to five together in a cyme; they are around 3–5 cm diameter, and sweetly scented; the original natural flower color is bright pinkish-purple, but cultivars of other colors, including red, white, yellow and green, have been developed. The fragrant, hermaphrodite flowers have a radial symmetry. The four to six surrounding the calyx, egg-shaped, sting-pointed scales leaves are only ¼ as long as the calyx tube. Carnations require well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil, and full sun.They are used for medical purposes, such as for upset stomach and fever. Their fragrance was historically used for vinegar, beer, wine , sauces and salads. 29201
