Carnations

The bouquet is made up of 35 spray carnations in pink and purple shades, and several blooms develop on each stem. The greenery forms a base into which the flowers are tied, adding volume, shape and colour contrast.

The pink and purple shades together create a lively, festive mood, so the bouquet suits a celebration, a visit or a greeting to loved ones. Before putting the bouquet in a vase, cut the carnation stems between the nodes, not right at the swollen node, where the stem takes up water less readily.
