Carnations have a bum rap.
I think it is because grocery stores sell them artificially died,
which looks cheap.
Like baby's breath, they have been overused
in too many bad bouquets.
They are pretty and last for a long time.

If they are good enough for Oscar de la Renta,
they should be good enough for me!
I will give them a second chance.
