From a layman's perspective, it is interesting to find out that a pink
is a type of carnation. My mother, an avid gardener, often planted both
"pinks" and carnations. I never knew they were in the same family since
the carnations I am used to are a more rounded flower like mum with many
layers of petals, where as it looks as though most "pinks" have only a
single layer of petals.
Thanks for the excuse to google some flower pics :)

this is a two part question .
first is the flower originally called the pink, what we , today, call a
carnation or the origin of that flower?
if it is, is the regular jagged edge, part of the origin of the term "pinking"?.
