[glow777]

As it looks like im going to have a few - well a lot - of spare carnations this year ive read somewhere that they can be grown as house plants and pretty much flower all yea round if kept warm.

has anyone any experience of this?

Depends what type you have!

Perpetual varieties are best for indoors;

This flower stuff is all new to me so any help appreciated

BTW these are the missuses favourites so I'm dead if i mess these up :o
