Carnations

Carnation “Flower of Zeus”: the price of God’s wrath

Carnation is a flower from an eerie and at the same time fascinating legend. They say that this plant owes its life to the wrath of the warlike goddess Artemis - for playing the pipe too loudly, she tore out the eyes of a forest shepherd. Realizing all the cruelty and injustice of this action, the goddess cast her eyes on the path and at the same moment saw how two blood-red flowers grew out of them. Since then, the carnation has become a symbol of innocently shed blood and unforgivable crime.

A bouquet that a man will appreciate

Of course, the stigma of a “bloody” flower has accompanied carnations from time immemorial. However, in other ancient legends, the “Flower of Zeus” (as the carnation is sometimes called) symbolizes more pleasant things. For example, Belgian historians call it a “folk flower”, personifying the warmth of one’s home, and many researchers even consider the red carnation to be a symbol of passionate love.

According to some signs, the carnation is a primordially masculine flower, the “mark” of a warrior and protector. A bouquet of carnations can be given to a man not only for his birthday. A flower arrangement will be appropriate as a congratulation on success in business, as a sign of respect on Victory Day, and as an original gift on the occasion of concluding a successful deal or signing a lucrative contract.

However, the carnation is universal in that not only a man, but also a young girl and a mature woman will be happy to receive it as a gift.

Carnations in a bouquet: how and with what to combine

Carnations are proud and a little capricious flowers, so you should combine them with other plants in bouquets with extreme caution. Choosing the right components for a bouquet is an art.

• You should not combine “Flower of Zeus” with tiger lilies. Against the background of the aggressive colors of the “water lilies”, the originality of the carnations fades and becomes almost invisible;

• Arrangements made from carnations and crocuses look very cute. In tandem, these flowers exude a persistent and pleasant aroma, thereby attracting the attention of everyone around.

• Red roses and daisies go well with carnations. Tender and attractive, they can melt even the most “icy” heart.

• White chrysanthemums are an ideal “partner” for carnations. Tenderness and purity, sophistication and beauty - all this is perfectly combined in such compositions.
