The Carnation – Alphonse Mucha

Art Nouveau-style paintings, including paintings by Alphonse Mucha, a representative art nouveau decorative artist, show a variety of flowers including lilies and trumpet lilies. Carnation is one of the most common flowers in the Art Nouveau style, which uses nature such as plants, flowers, and insects as motifs to create the aesthetics of curves.

If so, it is wondered when carnation started to be a flower together in our lives. There is a record that carnation has been cultivated for 2000 years. Along with roses, chrysanthemums, and tulips, it has grown into a flower that blooms throughout the four seasons through a long and complex improvement process by crossing with Chinese dianthus flowers. (See Naver Encyclopedia of Knowledge.)

Carnation with the beautiful flower meanings of maternal love and love is a flower that symbolizes Mother’s Day, which is representative in Asia. The carnation with a split end like a lace is very colorful and quiet. On Mother’s Day, our mothers wearing carnations on their chests and showing off their elation truly make us pleased.

In fact, a story about carnation is hidden. Mrs. Jarvis, who lives in a small town called Webster in the United States, was respected by everyone. When she passed away, all the people and students of Sunday School gathered at the church in grief, and after seeing Anna, the daughter of Mrs. Jarvis, offering a bouquet of white carnations in her garden, people followed her every year.

In addition, after the first day in Seattle in 1908 was designated as Mother’s Day, the US Congress set the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. Since then, people have become a custom of giving white carnations to their deceased mothers and red carnations to their living mothers.

Just as we don’t realize the importance of air, we always forget the existence of someone close to us. In May, how about telling the words you haven’t been able to tell your loved ones with a precious heart in a beautiful carnation card like a lace?
