Please appreciate that the flower is a very certain flower. The red carnation is the symbol of the workers movement and of socialism.

PugJesus, this is incredible. Thank you. Is there a good place to find more information about this picture? You often include that if you have it, so no problem if I need to figure it out for myself.
