What is the legend of carnation?

In Greek mythology, it is said that there is a girl in Greece who weaves crowns for a living. She is highly praised by painters and poets for her exquisite skills. However, due to the prosperous business, she attracted the jealousy of her peers and was eventually assassinated. Apollo, the sun god, turned the girl into a beautiful carnation in memory of her. Therefore, in Greece, some people call carnations crowns and crowns, praising their sacred status. In France, it is said that carnations were made by Diana, the goddess. She was afraid of being tempted by a handsome shepherd boy and threw her eyes on the ground. So the French call carnation Qeillet, which means "small eyes". There is also a legend that carnations are flowers in lovers' cemeteries, which are mostly used for funerals. In addition, it is said that this kind of flower only grew out of the ground when Christ was born, so it is a festive flower. In short, there are many legends about carnations, but in any case, carnations are indispensable for Mother's Day.
