Carnations are making a comeback

 

It's official, carnations are making a comeback!

Regarded as a poor relation and relegated to station forecourts, the carnation is now appearing on designer dresses and hailed as a versatile long lasting bloom by America's queen of good taste, Martha Stewart.

Teamed with spray roses and fragrant foliage, they continue to be the perfect bloom for a simple country summer wedding - I wouldn't be at all surprised to see these starting to appear more and more in 2011.

Good old fashioned blooms, never let you down!
