I have to admit that I have been guilty of being a carnation snob--as in,
I really don't like them--usually. But the other day as I was looking over
the offerings at the wholesale flower place, I saw the most amazing purple
carnations. I couldn't resist. I bought them and now I have a whole new
respect for these flowers. Not only do they look great en masse and come
in colors that are sometimes hard to find, but they are tough--
this arrangement lasted almost two weeks!
