Carnations are one of the most beautiful flowers that are dual colored; their Arabic name is clover, after their clover spice scent.

According to FTD

“Carnations are also called pinks because of their spiky petals that look like they were cut with pinking shears. There are several theories about how the carnation got its name. Some believe it comes from the word coronation because it was used in Greek ceremonial crowns. Others think it originated from the Latin word carnis, meaning flesh because early carnations were typically pink. Carnation means fascination, distinction, and love.

Carnations grow in various colors, including pink, white, red, yellow, and scarlet. Each color has a different meaning.
