This Carnation was a gift from one of our
daughters to my wife and myself at Christmas time. It is something
we treasure, and its lovely beauty is apparent to the eye. It
sits in our dining room where we can daily see it and appreciate
its wonderfulness. Thanks, Cathy and Hugh for the beautiful plant.
