Relying on the history of the pattern in the literature and work of Jean Stevens, who produced the
first white/yellow (PINNACLE) and the first white/pink (SUNSET
SNOWS), I read the terms yellow amoena and pink amoena. Using just
the term amoena, one thinks of the white over blue/violet which
became dominant with PROGENITOR and Paul Cook. These terms seem
fairly established.
Jeff Walters is right about the placing ot two specimen stalks in a
show. They are not allowed with the exception of collections.
