Just a word of warning - if the sweetpeas are the annual variety be careful because they will take over your garden if you don't dead head them.
I'm red carnation, too. Don't much like them. I'd rather have roses or pansies, or sweet peas. (I just bought some sweet pea seeds to plant along our front fence once the danger of frost is past. We used to have them along the back porch when I was growing up.)

My birth flowers are Calendula or Cosmos. Neither my favorites but I don't hate them. My favorite is the Siberian iris or plain old Shasta daisies.
