Sarah Howarth 1835

Sarah’s sampler features two red carnations, a large pink rose and two anemones. Carnations are rich with symbolism, mythology and in the language of flowers the carnation’s meaning is determined by its color. Light red symbolizes admiration, while dark red represents deep love and affection. White carnations suggest pure love and good luck, purple carnations imply capriciousness, and pink carnations carry the greatest significance, beginning with the belief that they first appeared on earth from the Virgin Mary’s tears, making them the symbol of a mother’s undying love.
