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.....................

Far too late for that:
