Carnations, also called Dianthus, are a great staple in any flower arrangement. Whether it is the featured flower or filler, there are many reasons to use carnations in fresh flower displays. Carnations come in a variety of sizes and colors. Traditional carnations are usually white, pink, red or yellow. Variegated carnations are white or yellow with red tips along the edge. Various colors are created in carnations by dyeing. This is how florists achieve blue and green shades. There are two ways carnations are colored, they are stem dyed or sprayed. Stem dying involves cutting the stems on the carnation and placing them in a bucket of dye with the desired color. The white flowers drink the dye and the flower exudes the color. Occasionally carnations are sprayed with a floral dye as another coloring technique. Mini-carnations are also used in many arrangements. You can also easily get them at a online Taipei florist ,it will save you a lot of time and money.
