Can I ask a silly question on that particular picture? Why carnations? Why not roses, which are more appealing and beautiful? Is it tradition that requires carnations? Roses are usually the preferred spread for a casket and wreath.

Why carnations?
I don't know. Maybe that is what was preferred or requested by the Reagans.

Could it be that carnations last longer before wilting... and it looks like the carnations are red white and blue... I don't think there are blue roses....
Just a thought...

I wondered why the wreaths weren't a little more imaginative with flowers, but thought maybe they went with what would stand up to the length of time they'd be used.
