The carnation is one of the oldest cultivated flowers and has been known since Greek and Roman times. According to legends, the Greek botanist Theophrastus gave the flower its scientific name: dianthus, a combination of the Greek words dios, which means divine, and anthos, the word for flower.
Others believe the flower got its name from the word coronation, since Greeks used the flower for creating ceremonial crowns.
The name might also derive from the Latin word carnis, which translates as flesh, since early carnations were mainly pink.
Another legend describes how carnations bloomed when the tears of the Virgin Mary fell onto earth while weeping for her son.
The carnation has gained much meaning over the centuries; one of them, the expression of motherly love, probably originated in this legend. Not surprisingly, in 1907, Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia chose the flower, a pink carnation, to represent Mother’s Day.
Flowers symbolize the diversity of life, and teach us about patience, impermanence, and the natural cycle of birth and death.
