Carnations are grown all over the globe—they can be found in Europe, Kenya, India, Australia, China, South America and the United States—and are available year-round. They come in more than 10,000 shades and varieties, the most popular ones being light green (Prado) and bicolor blooms such as Alpha and Tundra. Once the flower has reached its full bloom, it will remain fresh and fragrant (it has a clovelike scent) for about three weeks if it is kept properly hydrated.
