I like this.  A lot!  I agree with the other commenters about how beautiful *and* terrifying she looks.

Do the red carnations have any significance, other than matching her hair?  I know carnations = mourning/condolence flowers in a lot of Latin American countries (and probably in Europe).  Any connection to "your impending death if you mess with me"?   ;)

Here in the U.S., carnations have no particular significance other than being a common and very inexpensive florist bloom, so a bouquet of carnations is about the cheapest floral tribute you can give.  (e.g. you almost forgot Mother's Day, so grabbed the last bouquet at the supermarket...) They don't grow wild anywhere in the U.S. (AFAIK), in contrast to the lilies, hyacinths, etc., you drew previously, which have naturalized throughout colder parts of the country.

In Russia, red carnation is a symbol of victory in WWII in the first place, but nowadays you can give it to any soldier, not only to veteran (actually, you can give it only  to soldier, in any other case it can be a cause of confusion). Sigrun is a true warrior lady, so I thought this flower will suit for her. Also red carnations look like little explosions for me, and Sigrun has an explosive nature.
(Well, I hope I did not made any glaring mistakes in this text.. My english is still awful :()

And I was wondering if you chose red carnations intentionally. My first associations with these flowers are old Victory Day postcards. Well, the flowers match not only her hair, as you've said  ;D
Although I've never heard that you can give these flowers only to soldiers :P On the other hand, I've also never seen anybody giving red carnations to anyone but veterans. Other colors seem to be fine, though, and there usually are pretty bouquets in the flower shops.
The proverb lies, I've never killed a cat.

Hmm, I was sure, it is 23 february flower too... At least I pretty much often see postcard with it  ???
Anyway, I wanted make some soldier parallels, not WWII.
And explosions. Explosions in the first place  :)

But carnations have been recommended as the best plant to grow indoors because they give off so much oxygen. It has yet to be taken to heart widely but I plan to plant some in pots soon.

Not bad, better than my rusty German. In place of "another case", "any other case" would be more precise.
"... it can be cause of confusion)."  to "....it can be a cause of confusion)."
Also red carnations looks like little explosions for me'... to either "Also red carnations look like little explosions for me,..." or "Also the red carnation looks like a little explosion for me'...
      Verbs and nouns have to agree in singular or plural forms.
"...Sigrun has explosive nature." to "...Sigrun has an explosive nature."
      "an" is used instead of "a" when the word that follows it (either adverb, adjective or noun) starts with a vowel.

Can you tell I home schooled my daughters for 5 years? Like I said you are better than my rusty German. I know I slaughter the conjugations of the verbs now. And I was once fluent. Sigh.

Wow, it looks useful, thank you! I always forget about a/an :-[

Looking at her I kind of almost want to (for the challenge), but I also want to run and hide because that face says she'd smash me to pieces...
