That their flowers typically are pink in color and have frilled (pinked) margins is the reason why the flowers are called "pinks".

Specifically, the flower in question belongs to the genus Dianthus. It has worldwide appeal even though it is predominantly native to Asia and Europe. It is immediately recognizable by beautifully pale to dark pinks colors (although there are other colors such as the yellow of D. knappii) and interesting margins which look as through they were trimmed by pinking shears.

If flower color is determined using incomplete dominance where red is dominant white is recessive and pink is heterozygous. What are the chances that a red flower and a pink flower will reproduce to m?

In a cross between a red flower (homozygous dominant, RR) and a pink flower (heterozygous, RW), the possible offspring genotypes would be 50% red (RR) and 50% pink (RW). Therefore, the chances of producing a red flower are 50%, while the chances of producing a pink flower are also 50%. There would be no chance of producing a white flower in this scenario.
