A Carnation by any other name
This little green gem has been popping up more and more in floral arrangements over the last year. It’s a unique puffy green ball reminiscent of trachelium to some—completely alien in nature to others. You either love it or hate it. Let us know what you think !
It has a distinctive texture, trendy coloring and has a sizable head which can plump up your floral arrangement for a fuller look. Some florists have found that grouping several stems together can create the same look as a lush stem of green hydrangea and can be utilized in the same way.
Member Fieldwork in Portland, OR www.dearfieldwork.com has incorporated the Barbatus Green Ball Dianthus beautifully into this bridal bouquet of Trumpet and Green Goddess Callas, roses, berries, geranium foliage and lily grass.
In short, we have found that “ a carnation by any other name is ” …a Dianthus!
