Flowers 101 - Carnation
- CarnationOrigin & HistoryThe carnation — originally called dianthus by the Greek botanist Theopharastus - is native to the Near East and has been cultivated for the last 2,000 years. Some scholars believe that the name "carnation" comes from "coronation" or "corone" (flower garlands), as it was one of the flowers used in Greek ceremonial crowns. Others think the name stems from the Greek carnis (flesh), which refers to the original color of the flower, or incarnacyon (incarnation), which refers to the incarnation of God made flesh.Sentiment & SymbolismCarnations were known as "Jove's Flower" in ancient Rome as a tribute to one of their beloved gods. In Korea, a young girl places three carnations in her hair to tell her fortune. If the top flower dies first, her last years of life will be difficult; if it's the middle flower, her earlier years will bring the most grief. Worst of all, if the bottom flower dies first, the poor girl will be miserable her whole life!Color MessagesFor the most part, carnations express love, fascination, and distinction. Light red carnations represent admiration, while dark red denote deep love and affection. White carnations indicate pure love and good luck; striped symbolize a regret that a love cannot be shared. Green carnations are for St. Patrick's Day; purple carnations indicate capriciousness.Pink carnations have the most symbolic and historical significance. According to Christian legend, carnations first appeared on Earth as Jesus carried the Cross. The Virgin Mary shed tears at Jesus' plight, and carnations sprang up from where her tears fell. Thus he pink carnation became the symbol of a mother's undying love, and in 1907 was chosen by Ann Jarvis as the emblem of Mother's Day, now observed in the United States and Canada on the second Sunday in May.Carnations Online

Finding a florist
- The timeline for finding a florist, ideally, is 9 to 12 months prior to your wedding. Many florists get booked up quickly for the summer months, although most would still try to accommodate you - possibly with newly hired staff which might make your flower arrangements second rate. We highly recommend getting recommendations from other brides in your area. Other resources to find florsits include the yellow pages and various on-line resources like Google. Trimming down the list should be relatively easy based on initial impressions.

What is companion gardening?
- There are certain plants, flowering, herbs and vegetables that help each other out in the garden. Some plants help others to grow while others help keep away certain pests. Plants, much like people, have friends they prefer to be around. Some plants harbor insects, both good and bad. A plant known to be the home of a certain pest is helpful in keeping that pest away from other plants. You’ll find your gardening less a chore if you plan for a companionable garden, both in the landscape and the vegetable garden. Flowers and Their Friends Roses: Plant garlic among your roses to help repel aphids. Parsley also helps repel pests common to roses. Folklore says to plant banana skins around the base of roses since they are rich in silica and phosphorus, two minerals roses love.Aster: Most pests will stay away because they don’t like the taste or the smell Nasturtium: Plant plenty around cabbage, squash, zucchini, radishes, lettuce and fruit trees. Nasturtium helps repel cucumber beetles, aphids and whiteflies. It supposedly gives radishes a good hot taste. It is a good “trap crop”, luring snails and slugs away from other plants.Carnations: Don’t plant hyacinth before or after, they don’t like each other. Gladiolus: Keep at least 75 feet away from peas, beans and strawberries. Marigold: Marigolds help control nematodes and are very beneficial to roses, bulbs, root vegetables and strawberries. They also help protect beans from the Mexican beetle and help reduce whiteflies from attacking with your tomatoes. Petunia: These perky bloomers help keep away squash, potato and bean beetles. Sunflower: These tall beauties are a great help in attracting birds and bees to the garden. In turn, the birds and bees help regulate the number of pests in the garden. You can also use sunflower stalks as a climbing pole for climbing plants that don’t mind a bit of shade.SourceHappy Gardening.
