/// better than filling station carnations ///
Ah, that is very interesting, although I have never bought any myself, I have heard many similar remarks to yours.
Are filling station carnations a special species of carnation, are they any different to the 'Valentines Day' over priced flowers from a reputable florist?
I don't think they are artificial, so therefore they must still be real carnations etc. maybe lacking a rather expensive piece of advertising paper, a card and perhaps a piece of ribbon, but still carnations/roses etc.
All look the same in a nice vase though.
