A
specific type of edge on a flower,
where the edge is of a different color than that of the
flower's base color. Picotees can have borders or
margins which are lighter or darker, but they should
be of a contrasting color, i.e., white edge on a red
flower or red edge on an eyed flower. The only criterion
is that the edge be of a contrasting color as the base
of the flower; it can sometimes take bizarre shapes as
well as hooks, horns, teeth, bubbles, braids, or fringe.
All picotees are edges, but not all edges are picotees.
All picotees are picoteed edges. |
