The Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) is a flowering plant native to the Near East and has been cultivated for the last 2,000 years. Its original natural flower colour was pinkish-hued, but later, cultivars of other colours, including red, white, yellow and green, have been developed. The carnation is the national flower of Spain. Although originally applied to the species Dianthus caryophyllus, the name Carnation is also often applied to some of the other species of Dianthus, and more particularly to garden hybrids between D. caryophyllus and other species in the genus. Some scholars believe that the name 'carnation' comes from 'coronation' or 'corone' (flower garlands), as it was one of the flowers used in Greek ceremonial crowns. Others think the name stems from the Latin 'carnis' (flesh), which refers to the original colour of the flower, or incarnacyon (incarnation), which refers to the incarnation of God made flesh.

Ohio is a midwestern state of the United States. Part of the Great Lakes region, Ohio has long been a cultural and geographical crossroads. At the time of European contact and in the years which followed, Native Americans in today's Ohio included the Iroquois, Miamis, and Wyandots. Beginning in the 1700s, the area was settled by people from New England, the Middle States, Appalachia, and the upper south. Prior to 1984, the United States Census Bureau considered Ohio part of the North Central Region. That region was renamed 'Midwest' and split into two divisions. Ohio is now in the East North Central States division. The name 'Ohio' derives from the Seneca word ohi:yo�, meaning 'beautiful river' or 'large creek', which was originally the name of both the Ohio River and Allegheny River.[5][7] Ohio was the first state admitted to the Union under the Northwest Ordinance. Its U.S. postal abbreviation is OH; its old-style abbreviation is O.
