I love the smell of carnations. When we were in high school we got these beautiful corsages for the Football Banquet out of carnations. The smell lingers yet today. Strangely enough several days before my mother passed away I smelt the strong fragrance of carnations in her room. I told my friend, mom would be going home. It was weird. And still the carnations, not the prettiest of flowers but my favorite.
