January Birth Flowers: Carnations

Carnations are very old flowers, full of history and symbolism. Generally, carnations are seen as a
symbol of fascination and women’s love. Originally carnations were shades of pink or peach, but now you can find them in pretty much any color, as well as striped varieties.

Carnations are one of these flowers whose meaning varies greatly according to color:

  • Pink carnations, represents appreciation
  • Light red, represents admiration
  • Dark red, represents love
  • White, represents good luck

Think twice about gifting striped, purple or yellow carnations!

  • Striped, represents refusal
  • Purple, represents fickleness
  • Yellow, represents rejection

Carnations are also the official flowers for 1st Wedding Anniversaries.

Happy Birthday and Happy 1st Anniversary to all our January Grow Friends!!

Its your month. Smell the flowers.
