That does not look like an appliqued THROAT to me, going by the picture you submitted of 'Amethyst Applique.' But it appears this hybridizer is attempting to use the term to describe the way the patterned eye looks to him. Debatable. Not sure we'd get a consensus on this. If we're using the word "applique" to apply to how the throat of the bloom looks, I'd say definitely NOT. JMHO.
