of colours such as red, white, yellow, pink, lavender and the less

and as a substitute for rose petals while making syrups. When using
flowers as a condiment, the petals are generally removed from the
calyx along with the bitter white base. Various essential oils are

perfumes. The truly fragrant carnation flowers are dried of and used
in a wide number of cosmetic products. Carnations are indeed ideal in
rock gardens, herb gardens and border plantings.
