Poor Mans Rose
Someone told me years ago that the carnation is “the poor mans rose”. Truth be told I prefer a carnation over a rose. The fragrance is wonderful and they last for two weeks after cutting.
See you at the hop tomorrow!
thank you hugs coming your way
And it’s purple!
My father’s favorite flower! xo
It’s beautiful. Purple is my favorite color.
What a beautiful flower. I love your new header also!
Wonder if my wife would like them?
I love carnations! They are beautiful, come in so many wonderful colors, and they last quite a long time.
This rose is so beautiful Katherine! Guess what?! My favourite flowers are roses!:) Thanks for sharing on the Wordless Wednesday Photo Hop.
I love roses, poor man’s or not 🙂 Beautiful photo.
It doesn’t look poor at all!
Such a gorgeous color but when I first read your title Poor Man’s Roses reminded me and brought back memories of the song by Patsy Cline – ‘Poor Man’s Roses’.

Just gorgeous! Wish my flower garden would sprout something this lovely!
And, they have such a fresh fragrance.♥
Is this poor mans rose called ( Lisianthus ) ? and where can you order the seeds ?
Hello Rose, it is a dianthus. I imagine seeds are available at most garden shops. 🙂
