THE DIANTHUS: THE DIVINE FLOWER

Dream away to a summery Mediterranean day with these romantic flowers! The origin of the dreamy Dianthus, also known as Carnation, comes from The Mediterranean region where they used to make the nicest eau de toilette with these flowers. This is because the flowers have a sweet delicate fragrance. 

A FLOWER WITH A STORY 

The history of the Dianthus goes way back. The Romans used these special flowers for their wreaths and the flowers were popular for helping them to make favourable fragrances. Besides the pleasant odor, the flower also has a religious background. The Dianthus is often seen in paintings with different meanings, for example it symbolizes the suffering of Jesus Christ and it also was a symbol of the Virgin Mary. Last but not least, the name of these heavenly flowers derives from two Latin words. The first word Dios, meaning God and the second word Anthos with the definition flower. In other words, the Dianthus is God’s flower or a divine flower.
