"sweet williams" are pinks too, I believe.
Let's see.... Wikipedia says:
Dianthus is a genus of about 300 species of flowering plants in the family
Caryophyllaceae, native mainly to Europe and Asia, with a few species
extending south to north Africa, and one species (D. repens) in arctic North
America. Common names include carnation (D. caryophyllus), pink (D.
plumarius and related species) and sweet William (D. barbatus). The name
Dianthus is from the Greek words dios("god") and anthos ("flower"), and was
cited by the Greek botanist Theophrastus.
also
The color pink may be named after the flower, coming from the frilled edge
of the flowers: the verb "pink" dates from the 14th century and means "to
decorate with a perforated or punched pattern" (maybe from German "pinken" =
to peck). Source: Collins Dictionary. This verb sense is also used in the
name of pinking shears.
