carnation Original name: Dianthus caryophyllus, English name: Dianthus caryophyllus. Also known as: Lionhead Dianthus, Musk Dianthus, Large-flowered Dianthus, Latin name: Dianthus caryophyllus L. Dianthus is a perennial herb of the Caryophyllaceae family, 40-70 cm high, and the whole plant has no Hair, pink-green. The stems are bushy, erect, lignified at the base, and sparsely branched at the upper part. The leaves are linear-lanceolate, with a long acuminate apex, a slightly short sheath at the base, an obvious midrib, a concave upper surface and a slightly convex lower surface. The flowers are often solitary and fragrant at the branch ends, and are pink, purple or white; the pedicel is shorter than the calyx; it is broadly oval, with a short convex tip, the calyx is cylindrical, the calyx teeth are lanceolate, and the edges are membranous; the petals are obovate, with irregular top edges. The teeth are regular; the stamens reach the throat; the style extends out of the flower. Capsule ovoid, slightly shorter than persistent calyx. The flowering period is from May to August, and the fruiting period is from August to September. Carnations mostly represent love, charm and respect, and red represents love and care. The pink carnation is said to be the Virgin Mary Leah shed tears of sadness when she saw Jesus suffering, and carnations grew where the tears fell. Therefore, pink carnations became a symbol of immortal maternal love. Different from roses, the love represented by carnations is relatively light and warm, suitable for describing family love, so children often give carnations to their parents.
