Husk, pod, or the protective outer layer of a flower
Derived from the Greek word kalyx, it refers to the sepals of a flower that form a protective layer around the bud. In botany, it is the outermost whorl of a flower. It is a rare botanical choice that offers a modern, sharp sound compared to more traditional floral names.
