The Language of Flowers: The Meaning Behind Carnations

Just as roses have many languages, carnations are second in line to expressing those things that are sometimes hard to say. Pink Carnation: “I will never, ever forget you.” Red Carnation: “My heart longs for you.” Deep Red Carnation: “I don't know if my heart can take the pain.” Purple Carnation: “I'm sorry I am so moody.” Striped Carnation: “I just cannot be with you right now.” White Carnation: “You are so sweet. Your innocence is refreshing.” Yellow Carnation: “You are such a disappointment.”
