Could it be a peony?
i think it is a peony too.
Carnations do have leaves. They are glaucous grey green to blue-green.
A carnation is a dicot. It's flower parts are in groups of four and its leaves have netted venation.
The flower of the carnation is not toxic. The stem and leaves are, to a small degree. Nobody has died from carnation poisoning as of yet.
Carnation blossoms are 2-3 inches and 16 to 18 inches tall.
The stems and leaves are mildly toxic to humans and will cause gastric distress.
Don't clean your plants with milk.

A vascular (tracheophyte) plant has a system of tubes or conducting tissues. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. Phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Angiosperms are vascular and a carnation is an angiosperm (flowering plant). You can prove this by doing the color-changing experiment. Take a white carnation. Place the stem in water with food coloring added. The water travels up the xylem and the color is deposited in the white petals of the flower.
It is the white fuzz underneath the leaves that help it retain moisture.
