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:
