      Carnations: An Introduction

      Carnation is regarded as one of the most important cut flower all over the world and a very much preferable crop to be grown commercially in terms of fetching appreciable monetary returns. There are many suggestions related to meaning of the word Carnation. Some scholars propose that the name of the flower is derived from the word corone meaning flower garlands while others suggest that it is derived from the word carnis meaning flesh which refers to original fleshy color of the flower. In other words, it is also known as flower of love or flower of god. The various color ranges of this flower brightens the atmosphere with its divine presence.

      For commercial flower growers, the cut flower has a high market value because of its beautiful shape, varied ranges of colors, light in weight and a long vase life. Hence it is an ideal cut flower for distant markets. Also the crop gives full yield up to two years of their planting.

      Taxonomy and Classification: The flower belongs to the genus Dianthus and family Caryophyllaceae. The genus has around 300 species of flowering plants including Carnation. The important species for development of modern carnation are:

      Dianthus caryophyllus

      Dianthus chinensis

      Dianthus barbaratus
