Carnations
The greatest carnation market the world is the United States, Colombia and its main supplier and thus perhaps also the world's leading producer standard type carnation. In fact Colombia is also a major supplier in Europe, competing strongly with the Spanish market. In this case, carnations are transported by air, while trade in Europe is done primarily through trucks.
When we speak of 'The Carnation'As such, we refer primarily to Dianthus caryophyllusBelonging to the family Cariophyllaceas. This is mainly grown for cut flowers but also has a small market as ornamental potted plant. The pink (Dianthus caryophyllus) Originates in the Mediterranean at its most wild, although now and as a result of multiple hybridization and selection processes, is unlike almost anything and the varietal range is impressive.
Its value lies primarily in ornamental flowers with serrated petals, more or less irregularly. Currently grown carnations uniflora type, multiflora or bouquet. Carnations are often associated, emotionally, to the joy and charm ... and generally everything having to do with the joy and love. In the language of flowers are closely related with all the love feelings involved, but each color has a specific meaning. Thus, while the red expresses admiration for the beloved, the target makes greater reference to pure love.
The carnation bouquets may be all of Carnations or combined with other species of flower bouquets to set great ornamental value. This applies to the Standard carnations, Also called large-flowered.
In contrast, Miniature carnations, Also called multiflora or spray, are used primarily for bouquets along with the occasional flower as the StatizeThe Gerbera... And green as the ornamental cutting Leather FernThe Gypsophila paniculataEtc.. Together classes are set up much cheaper.
Entering the varieties of Carnations and within the 'standard type', we find an impressive collection that is growing over time. It is noteworthy that besides the pure colors, is the group of so-called 'Fantasia' and are having a lot of acceptance, including varieties of striped or variegated flower.
To set good carnation bouquets We should be demanding and are always Carnations quality. To do this, we must pay attention to things like the diameter of the flower, good training for their flowers, the absence of defects and pests, it appears the 'freshness' and does not wither, that the opening is partially open their flowers for a longer duration and the length and rigidity of the stem are adequate.
On the rigidity of the stem can be determined by taking the stem horizontally about 3 inches from the base of the stem according to the quality it deserves. If the deviation of the head of the flower is over 30 degrees from the horizontal curvature natural down ... the flower is defective.
