Types of Carnations
Carnation cultivars are mainly of three types:
- Large flowered Carnations - one large flower per stem.
- Spray Carnations (Mini Carnations) - with lots of smaller flowers.
- Dwarf flowered Carnations - several small flowers on one stem.
Especially loved the first photo, Vikey. It just explodes off of my screen in vibrant colors. I worked in a greenhouse for a summer where carnations were grown. To get the largest blooms, only one tall stem was allowed to grow for each plant, with all its energy going into one bloom. We spent hours pinching off all side stems and buds to create that one stem.
