Carnations

The bouquet is made of spray carnations in pink and purple, finished with greenery. The flowers are gathered into one hand-tied bouquet, with a ribbon holding the stems together, so the arrangement looks compact and neat.

The bouquet suits a gift for loved ones or a colourful decoration for the home; pink and purple together create a cheerful, rich atmosphere. Place the carnation stems in plain water reaching about a third of their height, and change the water roughly every three days. Remove the leaves from the greenery stems that would sit below the water line, as they would quickly foul the water.
