Pink and red pinks!

Pink and red pinks!

Excellent banner Rachael!

I like the closeup a lot.

Those flowers are absolutely charming! Love the banner with them, had to look them up to see if I should make room for them!

A perfect example of deckle edging in nature. Love it! ✂️ ✂️ ✂️ ✂️ ✂️

@Fleur569's comment made me think of pinking shears, and realized I had never made the word association between floral 'pinks' with their edges that look as though they're made with pinking shears. I always thought the common name for the flowers came from the pink color that many of them have. So thanks, Rachael, for a beautiful banner, and thanks, Fleur, for a fun trip for my little grey cells.

Interesting... I also had to check out deckle of course. I almost got into hobby paper making ... I bought a book about it at least.

@arctangent You are spot on, more precise than I. Great connection to the name, so logical.

I knew about the connection between pinks and pinking shears, but "deckle" is a new word. A cheery banner!
