Originally carnations were only in different shades of pink. Plant breeders got to work and developed flowers in red, white, yellow green, pink, and bicolors/stripes/spots.
In 1996 Florigene (Australia) genetically engineered a "blue" carnation using genes from the petunia and snapdragon. There have been 5 blue-mauve carnations developed for commercial use.
