CARNATION
CRAZY

It’s time to give Carnations the love they deserve! These wonderful flowers have often been thought of as “funeral flowers,” but they are so much more. Today, carnations come in rainbow of colors and many unusual varieties. Participants will create beautiful, long-lasting arrangements with Carnations as the main ingredient. If you’d like, think of Carnations as “Victorian Dianthus!”
