Carnations mostly represent love, charm and respect, and red represents love and care. The legend of pink carnations is that the Virgin Mary shed sad tears when she saw the crucifixion of Jesus, and carnations grew in tear drops, so pink carnations became a symbol of immortal maternal love. Different from roses, the love represented by carnations is relatively light and warm, which is suitable for describing family ties, so children send carnations to their parents.
