It is one of the most popular cut flowers and is often used for floral arrangements and boutonnières. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, 40-70 cm tall, hairless, and has a pinkish green color. Including variants and hybrids, it can bloom continuously in greenhouses for 5-8 months. It often grows singly at the branch tip, sometimes 2 or 3 flowers, with a rich fragrance, and common colors include pink, red, and white. The delicate green stems produce bright and beautiful flowers. The petals are compact and do not fall easily, the leaves are long and do not curl, the flowers are graceful and elegant in posture, and the colors are bright and beautiful. The fragrance is even more enticing, like the dry scent of a clove tree, sweet and deep. Carnations are native to the Mediterranean region and are mainly distributed in the temperate regions of Europe and in Fujian and Hubei in China. It is one of the four major cut flowers in China. Carnations have been cultivated in China since ancient times; the Song Dynasty litterateur Wang Anshi wrote a poem about carnations titled "Ode to Dianthus Flower": "Spring returns to the deep valley to form a cluster,浅浅红 spreads on the ground. If no carriage or horse approaches, who will appreciate it? pitifully, it can also endure the east wind." Carnations' fragrant petals can always be used to enhance the fragrance of a floral pot and have medicinal value. Carnations have the effects of beautifying and nourishing the skin, calming the nerves and quenching thirst, clearing the mind and brightening the eyes, reducing inflammation and eliminating annoyance, promoting saliva and moistening the throat, and strengthening the stomach and resolving accumulation. It is effective for treating toothaches and headaches. Carnations can be used to make flower tea; take 3-4 carnation flowers and steep them in boiling water for three minutes. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that carnation flower tea is slightly cool, sweet in taste, enters the lung and kidney meridians, and has the effects of calming the liver and nourishing the lungs and skin. Carnation flower tea is even better when combined with other flowers, such as forget-me-nots, violas, rose kings, and wintersweet flowers.
