The farm tool commonly used for trimming flowers is called pruning shears or garden shears. These handheld tools have sharp blades that allow for precise cuts, making them ideal for trimming stems and shaping plants. Pruning shears come in various sizes and designs, including bypass and anvil types, to suit different gardening needs. Proper use of these shears helps promote healthy growth and maintains the aesthetic appeal of flower gardens.
The cut produced by pinking shears may have given its name to (or be derived from) the plant name pink, a flowering plant in the genus Dianthus (commonly called a carnation). The colour pink may have been named after these flowers, although the origins of the name are not definitively known. As the carnation has scalloped, or "pinked", edges to its petals, pinking shears can be thought to produce an edge similar to the flower.
