ABC TV | How To Make Carnation Paper Flower #2 - Craft Tutorial

The carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) commonly known as the sweet william or clove pink, is a species of Dianthus. They are known to have been used in arts and decor by Greeks and Romans. Botanist Carl Linneaus coined the name Dianthus caryophyllus in 1753. Renowned Greek botanist Theophrastus gave the genus name Dianthus. It comes from the Greek word “dios,” which means “divine” and refers to the god Zeus, and “anthos,” which means “flower.” Because of this, the name “Flowers of God” also relates to carnations.
