REF: Plicatas for Dummies - CIRCUS STRIPES

Hello Talkers,

As first contributions to my Patterns for Dummies project, Randy 
Squires was kind enough to send me several photos.  One is of CIRCUS 
STRIPES.  Randy, may I post it to iris-photos for those who may not
be 
familiar with this cv?

I have some questions regarding the color pattern on this iris.  
Please help me determine how this one should be properly identified.
  
1.  Is CIRCUS STRIPES a plicata?  If it's not a plicata, why not?  
Does the purple color around the edge of CIRCUS STRIPE's petals
define 
it as a plicata moreso or less-so than the dark veins ... or not at 
all?

2.  Are "veined", "striated", and "striped" the same thing, and if 
not, how do they differ?

3.  When discussing petal edge patterns, which of the following are 
synonymous:  band, ring, edge, halo, rim?

Thanks for any and all opinions,

Laurie
