Here is the official word from AHS on what is an appliqué throat and what isn't:

"The important distinction between appliqués and normal extended throats is that there is no bleeding of color from the throat to the petal color and that there is a strong contrasting color separation, not soft blending. Examples of extended throats that are not appliqués can be seen in H. 'Emerald Starburst' (Doorakian 2004) and in 'Kermit’s Scream.'"

Examples of appliqué throats:


'Chinese Temple Flower'


'Catcher in the Eye'


'Spacecoast Sea Shells'

NOT appliqués:


'Kermit's Scream'


'Emerald Starburst'
