Information about the word carnation (English → Esperanto: kariofila dianto)

Many of the soldiers who perished at Makijivka came from Samara, a city on the Volga river in southwestern Russia, and the families of those killed are mourning their loved ones, bringing red carnations to a rare public memorial service, as priests led people in prayer and a choir sang the liturgy for the young men who had recently been sent to the front.
