Dianthus (Pink)

This is a Pink (NO! I hear you cry) flower from our garden. I don't know what variety of Pink it is, but Pinks are also known as "Dianthus".

Wikipedia says this: " The color pink may be named after the flower, coming from the frilled edge of the flowers: the verb "pink" dates from the 14th century and means "to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern" (maybe from German "picken" = to peck). Source: Collins Dictionary. This verb sense is also used in the name of pinking shears."

So now we know.
