From Fleur De Lis catalog, 1956: CARNIVAL LIGHTS (Sass 1953) M. L. 37 in. (From lines involving City of Lincoln, Elsa Sass, Aleppo Plain, Cardinal, Tiffany and Pretty Pansy). A flower of the same type pattern as Moonlit Sea and Cuban Carnival, this is larger than either and much deeper in color. The ground is cream with a solid wash of rich violet except at the throat which is a rich creamy yellow. A full yellow beard accents this yellow area and gives the flower the appearance of being lighted from within. Brilliant. 3.50 |
