Pink carnations....

Dear, Delicate, Durable.. there is only one thing that comes to mind.. the most anciently cultivated beautiful carnations... and not just any carnations but the pretty pink ones.. the scientific name of the flower literally translates into "flower of love" or "flower of the Gods" may be thats why it has been revered for so long..



Legend has it that when Jesus carried the cross, the Virgin Mother Mary wept, and where her tears fell on the ground, the first carnations sprang up!! thus making the carnations a symbol of mother's undying love.. though i'm not too sure about the basis of this legend in Christian mythology..




i saw the most beautiful bunch of pink carnations ever about a week ago... and to describe them in words is highly improbable.. but it spread a smile across my face and i wish i had stopped to buy them.. well its all together a different story that i dint have cash on me to buy them nor did i have anyone to them for me..

Fragrant and fabulous, they are enough to lift up my spirits when i'm low and the colour pink echos perfect happiness and thankfulness... the strong sentiments that the pink flower expresses is a perfect compliment to its long lasting beauty...

an i'm still waiting for my bunch.. :P
