Default Plant Trivia Pat inspired


Plant trivia: 'Pink' originally refered to the *notching* found on
the flower petals, and only later came to mean the *color* that is
typical of most pinks. (The older meaning of the word continues
in use for the special type of scissors known as "pinking shears.")
