About carnation
- Carnations have been grown for more than 2,000 years. Each color carries its own meaning: red for deep love, pink for a mother’s love, white for pure love and good luck.
- Anna Jarvis, who founded Mother’s Day in 1908, handed out white carnations, her mother’s favorite flower, at the first celebration.
- Cut carnations last two weeks or more in a vase, longer than most flowers.
Also for January: snowdrop
- The snowdrop flowers in the middle of winter, often pushing up through snow, so it stands for hope.
