$68.00

Carnation

(based on color)

White

purity, luck, and remembrance

 Red

good fortune, love & deep admiration

Pink

motherly affection, gratitude

Carnation’s message to us is:

There is love even in the most unlikely places.

January’s birth flower. January itself is a fresh start, a time to begin again but not a time for planting seeds. January is a time to feel into what the year will bring forth for us. A time to still enjoy the darker hours of the day and keep warm. The month holds a purity to it. A stillness that comes after the holidays have come and gone. January is what is left in its wake.

Carnations are a variety of different colored blooms with multiple layers of ruffled petals. All carnations symbolize love but their petals depending on their colors can have different meanings. Even in the middle of winter, January is prime time for carnation blooms. Known as the flower of the gods, carnations symbolize good fortune, love & deep admiration when blooms are red. Carnations with pink represent motherly affection and gratitude. White is for purity, luck, and remembrance while purple means regret or refusal and striped blooms meaning unpredictability in life. 

Folklore and Old World Superstitions:

  • In some European traditions, carnations were used in weddings to grant protection and fidelity for the couple.

  • In Victorian floriography, carnations conveyed strong emotional messages of deep love or potential refusal in a suitor.
