Dianthus caryophyllus. Drawn in our room during a stay at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City. The red carnation is the State Flower of Ohio, chosen in honor of Ohio’s martyred son, William McKinley. It was his favorite flower, so the legislature gave him this posthumous recognition. For me, besides its marvelous colors and sinuous form, one of the nicest things about the carnation is its spicy fragrance. —Henry Evans
