Scarlet Carnation: State Flower of Ohio
Symbolism: Love, Luck, Devotion, Respect
Birth Month Flower of January
Dianthus caryophyllus
Classic Valentine’s flowers, these striking scarlet blossoms have long been associated with love and luck. In ancient Greece, the flowers were beloved “flowers of the gods” and became one of the first plants cultivated by botanists. Still to this day, carnations remain one of the most popular blossoms worldwide.
In Ohio, the Scarlet Carnation is especially loved. It was picked as the state flower to honor the former U.S. President William McKinley who was born there. He donned the flower for good fortune and had them put in parks, parades and his front-yard flower-patch.
Not only are they lovely and lucky, but they’re also medicinal. Love sick? Brew the spicy flowers for an energy boost! Need to hide some fine lines? Extract the oil for a hydrating skin cream. Trying to garnish a cake? Pluck some clove-like spicy petals.
