Carnations are some of the longest-lasting cut flowers, staying fresh in a vase for two weeks or more. That's one reason they turn up in so many bouquets, corsages and weddings.

Real carnations come in pink, red, white and yellow, and some are striped. Their petals have frilly edges, as if someone trimmed them with pinking shears.

About carnations:
Carnations come in the colors of a party dress. There are deep reds like velvet, whites as fresh as new snow, soft pinks like the inside of a seashell, and sunny yellows, some with an edge of darker color as if each petal had been dipped in paint.
Every petal is ruffled and frilly, so a single carnation looks like a tiny twirling skirt. In January, when everything outside is white and grey, a bunch of them in a vase is a little burst of summer. Put a few together and the whole room feels like a celebration.
