 Bright and full-bodied with smooth floral notes, it really does taste as good as it looks, makes a wonderful impact on the table, and your guests will adore it. The artisan who created this delightful handcrafted work of art, by folding the delicate carnation blooms into full green leaves.

The ancient Greeks and Romans believed the flowers had religious significance and they were used to decorate temples and other places of worship.

These days, carnations are traditionally associated with expressions of love, and luck.

 Around Oxford University at exam times, there are Carnations everywhere. Students wear a white carnation on their lapel when they sit their first exam, and a pink carnation for all exams in between, finally changing to red for the very last exam.

They can also symbolise great change, in Portugal, carnations symbolise the end - of the country’s former communist regime and transition to a liberal democracy, an event known as the Carnation Revolution. In 1974 ordinary citizens took to the streets and stood down the army armed with nothing but red carnations.
