INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1974 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: A two-toned pink and rose variety...suggesting the colors of grandmother's beloved "Bleeding Heart" plant. Pink-white standards, with a richer, deeper concentration of rose-pink fall. The warm, bright suffusion of the falls is enhanced by a contrasting deeper tangerine-rose colored beard. The petals are modestly waved and fluted, giving the flower an air of winsome circumspection, a curtsying grace. CARNABY has an unusual texture, crystaline and waxy, due the remarkable thickness and heavy substance of the petals.
