White carnations always look so pure! Who remembers the song with the line "Pink sports coat and a white carnation" !!!
PS. Ha, just looked it up - It was "A white Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation" Sung by Marty Robins - first released in 1957 , - Just listened to it ! memories !!
PSS. The photo is nice viewed on black.
Beautiful shot and virgin white fower. I remember slightly that song. I have a pink carnation; have had it for at least five years and it continues to impress me year after year.

Beryl, that's so funny! I was born 1946 but it's true that my knowledge of 'current affairs/culture' is very flimsy. I was a bookish child and am now immersed in photos and also reading still. Have a good day!
I remember that song well Christine who I worked with would always sing it if someone ordered pink carnations at the florist's I worked at. Haha not that old but she liked the song.

( In my childhood this was the most used flower in wedding bouquets.)
