The carnation or clove pink, having the scientific name Dianthus caryophyllus is a herbaceous perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region. There has been mention of carnations in Greek literature about 2,000 years ago. Some scholars believe that the name ‘carnation’ has been derived from ‘coronation’ or ‘corone’ - meaning flower garlands. These flowers are also known as ‘The Flowers of God’, as they got their name Dianthus from two Greek words - ‘Dios’ referring to the Greek God Zeus and ‘anthos’, meaning flower. These flowers come in numerous colors, each carrying a different meaning. In general, carnations mean fascination and love.
