Home of the Scarlet Carnation – the state flower of Ohio A local politician and avid gardner, Dr. Levi Lamborn, developed the flower and named it Lamborn Red. When he ran for the 18th Congressional District, it was against William McKinley, who later became U.S. President. At each debate he gave a Lamborn Red Carnation to McKinley. Later, when McKinley began to rise higher in politics, he used the scarlet carnation as a good luck charm. Once president, he always wore one and had extras on hand to give to guests in his office. On 14 Sept 1901, he took the scarlet carnation from his coat and gave it to an admirer. He was killed only a few minutes later by an assassin. A resolution was passed by the Ohio General Assembly to name the scarlet carnation the state flower on 3 Feb 1904. Finally, on 8 April 1959, the legislature officially recognized Alliance as the Carnation City. Here is a history page for Alliance.
