In the attached photograph the pot on the right is loaded with 12” single-flower white Carnations as I expected. The pot on the left contains 12” double-flower white Carnations and 18” single-flower white Carnations towards the back. As the 12” single-flower Carnations need more room, I will move them to a larger pot and again divide the pot on the left into two pots. The lesson to be learned is that when you start separating a mixed lot of Carnations or any Dianthus species, make sure that you only have one plant with each division. All three Carnation forms are pollen fertile which is what I was really after. By next spring, if all goes well, I will have: • 12” double-flower white carnation. • 12” single-flower white carnation. • 18” single flower white carnation. Mike |
