I was there wearing pink carnation...under the town clock!
Where were you?

ha ha , so is it ok are not? me well new to gardening :o)

Sorry Doddy I know nothing about carnations, I just couldn't resist making that comment ;-)

ha ha nice one :o) :o)

Hard to tell, Doddy. The center has obviously gotten woody and fallen open--common in older plants--but I don't see any signs of pests or disease.

right should i just leave it then the top part is green and look like the buds are going to open?? thanks so much:o)

Maybe take a few cuttings to replace the old plants next year, but nothing else needed that I can see.

how do i do cuttings ? never done that before,,,,,need step by step instructions lol

First thing I would do is browse through the C section of GoYpedia, below, especially cuttings and carnations.
