There are a total of 18 flowers, so the probability of selecting any flower on the first draw is 1/18. If a carnation is selected on the first draw, there are 5 carnations left out of 17 flowers for the second draw, so the probability of selecting another carnation is 5/17. Therefore, the probability of selecting two carnations is:
(6/18) * (5/17) = 30/306 ≈ 0.098 or 9.8%
