François Joyaux speculates that the name of 'Oeillet flamand' could point to an origination by Louis Parmentier. In fact, "Oeillet flamand" was the name given to a special type of carnations, known since early 1800s, and very popular in the 1840s-50s. This carnation hat rounded petals which were nor ruffled, a white base, with distinct stripes of violet to red to orange-red.
