The name Dianthus comes from the Greek words Dios + Anthos, meaning “The flower of Zeus.”
For this reason, it has long been considered a flower of divine beauty, dedicated to the gods of Olympus. According to an old myth, the carnation bloomed from the tears of a goddess mourning a lost love — which is why it is associated with passion, devotion, and renewal.
In Greece, it is linked to love, joy, and celebration, often offered during moments of strong emotional significance.
During the Renaissance, it frequently appeared in paintings as a symbol of eternal love and commitment.
In Eastern cultures, it represents good fortune, prosperity, and protection.
All the flowers we use are either handpicked or grown in our own garden, then carefully dried by us using different techniques that we have developed and refined over the years, ensuring that each flower is preserved in its most beautiful form.
