From wedding bouquets to funeral wreaths, carnations can be seen everywhere in human culture. Their colorful but delicately folded petals have made them one of the foremost decorative flowers, from the gardens of the Ottoman Empire to American Mothers Day bouquets, via Chinese medicines and French Empresses. In this book, Twigs Way explores the extraordinary history of this inimitable flower. The author traces the trials and tribulations of early breeders—compelled by florists’ fascinations for the striped and spotted—which led to delightfully colored (and delightfully named) varieties such as Lustie Gallant and Bleeding Swain. She looks at the symbolism of the red and white—and even green—carnations made famous by Oscar Wilde, and glides through many of the rooms in literature and history that we have filled with the carnation’s glorious scent. Travelling from Europe to China, Way explores how carnations have been used by herbalists the world over as a treatment for ailments to both mind and body, and she looks at the many paintings that have attempted to capture their unique complexities. Lavishly illustrated and full of unexpected delights, this book will—like the carnation itself—charm the mind and invigorate the senses.

Eloise Kelly longs for the romance of years gone by; for a dashing hero like The Scarlet Pimpernel to come and sweep her off her Jimmy Choo-clad feet.but instead she's sloshing around London in the rain and finally realising that romantic heroes are a thing of the past. To distract herself from such thoughts, Eloise concentrates on her History dissertation, and it's while rummaging through a pile of old letters and diaries that she discovers something amazing, something that historians have missed: the secret history of the most elusive spy of all time, The Pink Carnation. But why is the very modern Colin Selwick so determined to interfere with Eloise's research? And why does he have to be quite so charming.?

Excerpt from Carnations, Picotees and Pinks: Second And; Revised Edition A new work concerning the Carnation needs no apology. Manuals have been written in the past about the same beautiful flower, but during recent years many varieties have been raised, and new groups formed, to give interest to the family of which the pretty Dianthus Caryophyllus, happy in its crevices of the lichen-stained castle wall, is the ancestor. The Carnation must play its rightful part in the garden, and not be relegated to the greenhouse, to yield its flowers merely for general or personal decoration. It is a great garden flower, faulty in some ways, perhaps, but with faults that the raisers of the future must correct. Poor colours, split flowers, absence of perfume, and weakly growth are not desirable attributes. If this work should kindle still greater enthusiasm for the Carnation, rich in its varied colouring and as sweet as the rose itself in fragrance, it will not have been written in vain.
