Carnation-

Vibrant purple, with flexes of red and white, petals tightly growing next to one another. The youthful petals are thin and white hidden deep within the center. While the outer jagged tipped petals are slightly folding like crashing waves against the ocean rocks. A long and slender, dark green stem. Specks of Forest green all the way to the top. With hints of soft light green, on each protruding bump, just before its slim, and pointy leaves gradually form, bending to the triangular tip.

My carnation reminds me of a closely nit group of family and friends protecting their youth. Growing closely supporting one another. Living as a small community. The outer petals are extended friends much more wild than the rest seeking freedom yet united in the others goals to form a loving home for their young. The Stem is long to stretch out into the world so it’s family shall grow bright and brilliant towards the light providing a warm and nurturing environment, seeking to drink in life for it’s loved ones. Bringing the color of individuality into our world.
