The ReinCARNATION

Flowers- A Gift Of Beauty
March 10, 2010
Ever since I’ve been working as a florist, I have had a new outlook on flowers. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the beauty that God has bestowed upon us. So many, and I mean so many beautiful flowers, that even as a florist I can’t imagine myself going thru and using each and every flower in my arrangements. Not only are there many flowers as I so mentioned before, but to think that the flowers and each of the colors they come in has a meaning or a tradition attached to it.
I would love to get to know each flower, their colors, their meanings, their traditions, their history, etc. Not that I want to overdose and become a flower historian, but I think it will give me a different perspective with my flower arrangements.
So every month I want to study and write about one flower. And for the month of March, I want to study………. The CARNATION.
I think that we have taken the carnation for granted and lost sight of its beauty. In fact most of my customers don’t want to have carnations in their arrangements because they feel that the carnation reminds them of funeral pieces, also because they believe the carnation to be a “cheap” flower.
How do you feel about the carnations?
