Showcase My Carnations

lovely gt, carnations are one of my favourite scented flowers along with roses. :o)

Lovely lot of buds still to come, how much longer can the flowers survive your weather outside?

Thank you Ali and Bjs. I love carnation, the whole dianthus bunch is wonderful.

These are already cut and frosted a few times now Brian even had a few snows. I brought one in to spend winter. If I get more blooms earlier next year that way, I'm collecting. I love them.

looks like a bouquet.

They look great.

lovely!!!

Thank you guys. This dianthus bed came out wonderfully, except for the carnations having such a long season, didn't quite all make it.

there are a bunch of buds there... wil them open before the frost?

Frost has been on them for almost three weeks. I dug one and brought it in the house. :-) The rest just didn't make it.

awww..... :(

You should be able to take cuttings into pots from dianthus and carnations. If you keep them warm and on a windowsill in the light.If there's not enough light then put white paper at the back round thepots to reflect the light back at them.

Ooo, the white paper is a good idea. I brought in one whole plant and it is still blooming. I'm going to have a garden of them upstairs if I'm not careful. The others have a chance to come through, just not the carnations.Thank you for the information Linda.
