Great photo and a great word, Eric.

Had me running for my dictionaries. One said "A variety of the pink in
which the edges of the petals are often a darker colour than the flowers "
and the other said " A type of carnation of which the flowers have a light
ground and dark-edged petals." Maybe you can go into the Oxford Dictionary
as being the first to apply this term to orchids.

Cheers

John

Tom,

Absolutely! The gold picotee really is the detail that just makes
everything else work.

I don't usually like the chocolate/brown blooms, but with that yellow
edging
this is wonderful.
