In the month of June, as depicted in Twelve Months of Flowers by Robert Furber, the vibrant and delicate carnation takes center stage. This captivating flower, immortalized by the talented artist John Singer Sargent in his masterpiece Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (1885-86), enchants viewers with its timeless beauty. As we stroll along the coast at Doolin in County Clare, Ireland during this season, we may come across a charming Marsh Daisy known as Armeria maritima. Its dainty petals resemble those of a carnation and add a touch of elegance to the picturesque landscape. Moving on to July's floral wonders from Twelve Months of Flowers by Robert Furber, our attention is drawn to another stunning portrayal - Red Carnation and Lavender. Basil Besler's Hortus Eystettensis showcases these two enchanting blooms side by side in perfect harmony. Dianthus caryophyllus or various carnations also make an appearance among these botanical treasures. Their vibrant colors and intricate patterns make them popular choices for gardens worldwide. One fascinating variation is the proliferating carnation that captivates us with its ability to produce multiple flowers on a single stem. It symbolizes abundance and growth – qualities that resonate deeply within us all. A historical engraving from Basilius Beslers Florilegium transports us back to 1613 when carnatons were paired with lavender for their complementary scents and visual appeal. The combination creates an aromatic symphony that delights our senses even today. Amidst this array of floral wonders lies another gem - Convallaria majalis or Lily of the Valley. Its delicate white blossoms exude gracefulness while adding a sweet fragrance to any bouquet or garden arrangement. The allure of carnations extends beyond art and nature; it has even found its way into silent films like Ford & Powers where Harrison Ford and Lucille Powers shared a scene that captured the essence of romance and beauty.
