About the carnation's color
Ohio adopted the carnation in 1904 — and Anna Jarvis chose the pink carnation as the official Mother's Day flower in 1908. The flower's Latin name Dianthus literally means 'flower of the gods'. In ToonTone Guess, we represent the carnation with the hex value #FF1493 — the color most people see when they picture the bloom in a vase or in a field.
