Yellow/ Orange Carnation

All the carnations shown are from side shoots from bunches of carnations I've bought when doing my food shopping.Quite pleased with the results!

Well done, they are all lovely. I used to do that, but don't buy the carnations very much these days. Lovely colours.

Thanks all.
Carole... this is what yours should look like if it flowers, hope it does!
Sandra... easy peasy. Pull some side shoots off, dip in rooting hormone, and stick them in some compost!I have had failures, but not too many.I bought 4 new Pinks this year, 2 have died on me already!
Cinders... I always treat myself to a bunch of these when I go shopping, usually last about 2 weeks
